The ex-NFL quarterback shared a clip from his podcast “Outta Pocket with RGIII” on X, along with a caption. He wrote:

“Shedeur Sanders was never given equal opportunity to compete with Dillon Gabriel, and the Browns showed us that throughout training camp and the preseason. If it was a real competition, Dillon and Shedeur would have played with the same talent around them in the last game.”

An intense quarterback competition has taken place at the Browns’ training camp throughout the preseason, with the main goal being the starting quarterback position. However, with Stefanski announcing 40-year-old Joe Flacco as the Browns’ starting quarterback for the season, the focus shifted to earning a spot on the roster.

Shedeur Sanders confident he will make the Browns’ roster

In addition to Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel, former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kenny Pickett is also competing. Sanders has voiced confidence in making the Browns’ roster in an interview after their final preseason game. He said:

“I think, overall, as a player, I’ve put in the work. I feel like everything I do, I try to do it to my best, and that’s all I can ask for. I feel like everybody feels like they should be on the team. If you ask anybody on the team, would they feel like they belong, they belong in their own eyes. I feel like I do. But I’m my own player. I think about myself in a high regard, of course. It’s not my decision.”

It is unclear yet if the Browns will keep their two rookie quarterbacks and cut Pickett and Tyler Huntley. The Browns’ general manager, Andrew Berry, sees the team’s current quarterback situation more as an opportunity than a challenge. He said:

“We have a room that we like all the guys in there. We don’t really see that as a problem. We more see it as an opportunity.”

Trading opportunities will arise for the Ravens as many teams will be making final roster adjustments ahead of the deadline.
