And QB Deshaun Watson could find himself on the bench in the near future amid a terrible start.
He completed just 16 of 23 passing attempts for 168 yards and was sacked five times for a total loss of 24 yards against the Philadelphia Eagles at the weekend.
The 29-year-old also failed to score a touchdown or make any interceptions.
Despite Watson’s horror form, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski continues to keep his faith in the quarterback.
He said: “I think Deshaun gives us the best chance to win, continues to give us the best chance to win.”
With doubts over Watson’s future continuing to mount, CBS Sports has predicted a new QB draft pick for the Browns.
Sanders has been tipped for a move to Cleveland in 2025.
Josh Edwards wrote: “No one questions that Cleveland needs to make a change at quarterback
“There are questions about how to handle Deshaun Watson’s contract and the path forward.
“Signing Sam Darnold next offseason is probably not in the cards considering what they will owe Watson, but the idea of taking a quarterback in the draft makes a lot of sense.”
Sanders is enjoying an outstanding season in Colorado.
The 22-year-old is a candidate to be the first quarterback picked next April.
Jalen Milroe, Cam Ward, Carson Beck and Quinn Ewers are also among the contenders.
Sanders’ dad is NFL legend Deion Sanders, who is head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes.
The 57-year-old previously played for the San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins and Baltimore Ravens.
