“”[Browns head coach Kevin] Stefanski and the Browns try to do what they feel gives them the best chance of winning football matches, “said Jason.” If the Browns and Kevin Stefanski felt their best option and the most confident option they had to win about matches was SheDer Sanders, they played him. “”

The former NFL quarter, Derek Carr, asked why Sanders was not left in the match to finish the last training.
“I need to understand why we do not see SheDer Sanders carrying out this 2-minute exercise? Wouldn’t you want to see your young QB operate in this situation? Give him more representatives for the future? I have not seen the whole game, so maybe he has already shown enough? Help me understand this …” wrote Carr on X.
The Sportive Skip Bayless Talk-Show host posted a 16-minute diatriber in defense of Sanders on X, while condemning the Browns for their handling of the quarter.
“They sabotaged him, they fucked him against him today, putting him with the third and fourth strings, the fifth strings, you did not succeed in the quarter-tree,” said Bayless.
Other users on social media have upgraded criticism similar to the Browns, some specifying that the obstacles put in front of the quarterrier are intentional.
Before this match, the NFL renowned temple Eric Dickerson Compli’s accomplice theories linked to Sanders in a recent interview, saying that the NFL teams “had been invited not to” go back to Sanders “to make an example” of the quarterrier when he fell in the fifth round of the NFL draft in April.

“” We are going to make an example of him. “And it came from a very good source, a very good source. I mean, look, the NFL has all kinds of power.
The shift of Sanders out of the first round shocked many, including President Donald Trump, who sent a post on TRUTH Socially condemning the owners of the League for having transmitted the quarter.
ESPN host Stephen A. Smith revealed a text message from a partner who compared the situation to Colin Kaepernick being outside the NFL since 2016, suggesting “collusion”.
“‘It is a bad look for the NFL. It looks like the collusion of Kaepernick level’,” said Smith about the content of the text, adding that the situation goes beyond “the assessment of talents”.
“All the hard work that the NFL League office carries out to eradicate this kind of perceptions, only to turn around and look at the owners seem to be collusion, spoil everything.
