Former NFL quarterback claims Browns are sabotaging Shedeur Sanders' chances

Former NFL signal-caller Robert Griffin III took to social media to criticize the Cleveland Browns’ handling of their quarterback competition between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders. Griffin noted that Watson will lead the first preseason matchup while Sanders will only see action in the second game, which will feature a roster lacking most starters. He contended that this setup denies Sanders a comparable chance to prove himself and appears designed to set him up for failure.

Griffin also pointed out that Sanders does not have a large guaranteed contract, implying business motives. While acknowledging the Browns could still give Sanders opportunities later, he argued the current plan creates unnecessary media noise and could have been avoided with a clear starter announcement.
