However, a day later, the Browns announced that four of the five offensive linemen who were protecting Sanders in the game against the Rams were cut from the roster. Fans followed up with some wild reactions to Cleveland's roster cuts, with theories suggesting that Coach Prime's son was set up to fail.

"NFL is most rigged corrupt sport," another added.
"Sure as hell wasn’t setup for success," a third commented.

Here are a few more reactions.

"Clearly a set-up," one wrote.
"Shedeur didn’t stand a chance That O-line shakeup was brutal," another added.
"It’s a conspiracy man," a user tweeted.

Shedeur was coached by his father, Deion Sanders, for his entire collegiate career. The QB played two years at Jackson State before transferring to Colorado in 2023.

Amid the uncertainty around Shedeur Sanders' future, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the QB will be part of the Browns' 53-man roster for the 2025 regular season.

The Browns took Sanders with the No. 144 pick in this year's NFL draft. He was the second QB they selected, after taking Dillon Gabriel with the No. 94 pick.

Cleveland has also announced that Joe Flacco will be the starting quarterback for the upcoming season, which means Sanders will have to fight for one of the backup spots.
