NFL Trade Rumors
The Browns have now lost four games in a row and are 1-4 with QB Shedeur Sanders as their starter. When asked if he thinks about how things could look in 2026, Sanders responded that he’s staying focused on the present, and it’s not guaranteed that he’ll be the starter next year.
“No, I live in the present. I live in the present,” Sanders said, via the team’s YouTube. “I’m focused on this week and this game — and nothing’s promised. Nothing’s promised going into next year or anything, so I stay in the moment, stay focused on what I have to do now to even be able to be here next year, you know? I just enjoy life.”
As for whether he needs a sense of commitment from the coaching staff and front office, Sanders said he can only control what he can control.
“I don’t think it’s about anything of that,” Sanders said. “It’s about controlling what you can control — as a person, as a player. I think I have to do my part. I think I have to do my part and get some wins, do my part and play clean football. The rest isn’t in my hands. So, that’s really all it is. I don’t own the organization, you know? So I can’t promise anything will happen. I’m not God, I can’t dictate what’s going to happen each and every day, each and every minute. You’ve just got to enjoy what you do have. You’ve got to enjoy the present. You can’t look too deep into the future because then you’ll miss the blessings and the lessons you learn from the now.”
