The Cleveland Browns sit atop the AFC North at 4-2 and have a clear pathway to earning a playoff spot should their play continue to get better as the season progresses. The defense has played a major role in this team's success this season, but quarterback Deshaun Watson has helped lead this team to multiple fourth-quarter comebacks this season.
With the team currently thriving under Watson, could the franchise look to move second-year man Shedeur Sanders? His recent decision to hire an agent could hint at the move, according to NFL writer Charles Robinson:
Worth noting that Marvin Harrison Jr. hired a pair of agents last month to seek and facilitate a trade. I don’t think Shedeur hiring an agent now that he’s stuck behind Deshaun Watson is a coincidence.

Are we totally sure there is a market for Sanders? Sanders struggled mightily last season and did not come into the league with a lot of promise. J.J. McCarthy recently moved for a fifth-round pick, so some might say that Sanders can fetch a similar return. You can argue that Cleveland would be lucky to get even a sixth-round pick next year in return for the former Colorado Buffalo.
