Regardless of all the controversy and wonder about what might happen to the Browns, Sanders is likely to stay on the roster, and he has spoken out about his first preseason with the team. In a social media post, Sanders stated:

Even 12 months ago, when the race for QB1 was unofficially between Sanders and Cameron Ward, the qualifier was often, "both QBs need to minimize the hero ball and work to play within the confines of the offense because that's what will translate at the next level."
