Cleveland legend predicts a trade involving Dillon Gabriel or Shedeur Sanders amid crowded QB room. What it means for Browns offense and future depth. Read at NFL Wires.
Introduction: QB Ferris Wheel in Cleveland
The Cleveland Browns' quarterback room has exploded in size this offseason, featuring Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, plus rookies Dillon Gabriel (3rd round) and Shedeur Sanders (5th round). A Browns legend is now warning fans: expect a big trade—and it might not be popular.
At NFL Wires, we break down the insider predictions, roster dynamics, and what this means for Sanders, Gabriel, and Browns fans.
Crowded QB Room Sparks Trade Talk
With four quarterbacks battling in training camp, logic suggests the Browns will cut or trade at least one before the regular season. Former NFL veterans turned analysts now believe the most likely scenario is a trade involving Dillon Gabriel, though Shedeur Sanders also faces uncertainty.
The interest runs deeper than idle chatter:
Kurt Benkert (ex-NFL QB) hinted that the Miami Dolphins — who had targeted Gabriel in the draft — could revisit trading for him if Cleveland deems him expendable.
Meanwhile, speculation from Daily Dawg Chow suggests Sanders may also be on the cutting block if he doesn’t “wow” coaches early.
Battle Lines Drawn: Gabriel vs. Sanders
Minicamp reports show Gabriel getting more early reps, seen as more polished in pro-style situations. Shedeur Sanders, however, continues to impress with his mobility and football IQ, earning praises from analysts like Dan Orlovsky.
Still, insiders report Sanders remains lower on the depth chart, even as coaches acknowledge his potential—especially if veteran Flacco or Pickett falter.
Trade Scenario: Who’s Most at Risk?
-
Dillon Gabriel: A polished third-round pick with high expectations, Gabriel was once eyed by Miami. If he's not trending up, Cleveland may cash in via trade.
-
Shedeur Sanders: A hometown favorite with hype, but being a fifth-round pick comes with less margin for error. A mix of positive buzz and roster crowding could put him on the block.
Financially, both rookies are affordable, making either a viable trade candidate if they cannot carve out a role.
Where Could They Land—and At What Cost?
-
Miami Dolphins could recycle interest in Gabriel, while keeping their eye on future depth.
-
Other QB-needy teams (e.g. Colts, Raiders) may view either as a developmental option with pedigree and upside.
-
Even if a trade doesn’t materialize, Cleveland may cut one QB before final roster cuts, reshaping their depth chart.
Another QB class builds in 2026 (e.g. Cade Klubnik, Arch Manning), increasing pressure to keep a clean QB room in 2025.
What Browns Legend Says—And Why Fans Should Listen
According to Daily Dawg Chow, a prominent Browns legend suggested someone like Gabriel or Sanders won’t stay entire training camp, projecting a trade before preseason.
This isn’t mere speculation—it echoes broader NFL practice where surplus top talent gets shipped to maximize roster efficiency and draft capital.
Final Take from NFL Wires
The Browns entered 2025 with the goal of competition—but don’t be surprised if Cleveland ships out one of its draft picks this summer. While it’s unclear whether it’ll be Gabriel or Sanders, one thing is certain: the QB carousel is spinning—fast.
