NFL Fans Worried About 'Troubling' Shedeur Sanders Report
NFL fans are worried by the latest report about Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
Sanders, a fifth round NFL Draft pick out of Colorado, is one of four quarterbacks competing for a roster spot heading into the 2025 season. The Browns drafted former Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel in the third round. Meanwhile, the AFC North franchise also has veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett on the roster.

However, the latest report about Sanders' time in Cleveland is going viral. According to a report, Sanders is being mentored by controversial Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson.
Watson, who was accused of sexual misconduct by more than a dozen female massage therapists, is out for the 2025 season with an Achilles injury.

Deshaun Watson has reportedly been taking Shedeur Sanders "under his wing" heading into the 2025 season.
NFL fans are worried.
"This is like when Ralphie started giving Jackie Jr advice," one Sopranos fan joked.
"This is laugh out loud funny," one fan added.

"Eff the NFL for not giving us a Browns Hard Knocks," another fan added.
"According to Sanders, Watson has taught him 24 things that every quarterback in the NFL should know. Google 'Watson 24' to learn more!" one fan added.
"What could possibly go wrong?" one fan added.
"This is the most Cleveland Browns thing of all time," another fan added.
Sanders has already gotten himself into some trouble off of the field this summer, as he was reportedly pulled over two separate times for speeding incidents.
The son of NFL legend Deion Sanders has been praised for his work on the field, as he's been staying late after practice to put in extra time. But Sanders will need to stay out of trouble off of the field for his NFL career to really take off.

Is Deshaun Watson the kind of person that should be mentoring Shedeur Sanders in that aspect?
Most NFL fans would probably suggest that the answer to that is no.

2 Cowboys make ESPN's 'Bag Hall of Fame' for winning at football finances
Among its ranks of fortunate players, the NFL famously stands for "Not For Long." The typical on-the-field career is incredibly short, even under ideal circumstances. Add in the extreme daily physical punishment, heightened risk of serious injury, and better-than-average chance of lifelong health issues, and it's no surprise that for most players, the ultimate goal- a Super Bowl ring notwithstanding- is to secure as much financial compensation as possible for the brief time spent playing the game. Some do it better than others, with today's modern-era contracts often resulting in dizzyingly huge paydays for the most gifted athletes on the planet. But ESPN's Bill Barnwell set out to identify the best of the best, at least when it comes to the business side of pro football. He's created what he's calling the "Bag Hall of Fame," meant to honor those players past and present who, in his words, "did the best job of maximizing their leverage and getting paid for their ability. Players who pushed holdouts to the next level. Players who bet on themselves and were handsomely rewarded for doing so. Players who even managed to represent themselves in negotiations and pocket millions of dollars that would have otherwise gone to an agent." In short, sticking it to the man (read: obscenely wealthy and yet usually miserly NFL owners). And for his inaugural class of eight players from across league history, Barnwell has recognized two who did so to none other than Cowboys billionaire owner Jerry Jones. QB Dak Prescott It's practically a cheesy Disney movie: a fourth-round draft pick who wasn't even his team's first choice in that draft class bets on himself multiple times, comes back from a catastrophic injury, finishes second in MVP voting, and goes on to become the highest-paid player in the sport's history. Jones's repeated reluctance to pony up for Prescott at the earliest opportunity "probably has cost Jones nine figures in terms of lost leverage and extra money for Prescott." His current pact, signed just hours before the start of the 2024 season, set records for average annual salary ($60 million), most single-season cash ($86.3 million), cash over the first three years ($174.1 million) and the largest signing bonus ever ($80 million). And it came with no-trade and no-tag clauses. As Barnwell notes, fellow franchise quarterbacks Josh Allen and Brock Purdy have each had their turn at the plate since Prescott's deal; neither came away with anything resembling that. "Between 2021 and 2024," Barnwell points out, the man who was once the biggest bargain in pro football "took home a staggering $212.3 million, nearly $47 million more than any other player." Is Prescott worth it? He hasn't yet secured a sixth Lombardi Trophy for the lobby of The Star, but the organization knows that paying him gives them a better chance than starting over with someone else. And in the meantime, Prescott has secured more leverage for himself than any player before him. CB Deion Sanders Sanders was both an athlete and a businessman at an unprecedented level, so much so that he convinced a total of nine teams that he was the ultimate answer to success. Across two different sports. Juggling a nine-year career in Major League Baseball with 14 seasons, nine Pro Bowl nods, six first-team All-Pro accolades, and eventually a gold jacket in the NFL, Sanders was the Loch Ness Monster in an entire herd of unicorns. Already a superstar and a Super Bowl champ by the time he came to Dallas, Sanders became the highest-paid defender in league history when he joined the Cowboys. His seven-year, $35 million deal in 1995 would translate to "something like... a seven-year, $263.4 million deal with a $97 million signing bonus under the current cap." For a cornerback. Who moonlighted as a return man. And sometimes a wide receiver. The contract was massive enough to elicit complaints from other teams, and even Jerry Rice. Emmitt Smith's agent reportedly used the Sanders contract in their own haggling with the club over Smith and the franchise tag. And yet that deal ended with a championship parade through the streets of Dallas and merely added to the legend of Sanders, the three-way NFL star who also hit homers and stole bases in the bigs as just a side hustle.

Report: NFLPA won't discuss 18-game season until ‘at least early 2026'
The NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell have made many overtures about the league having an expanded 18-game regular-season schedule in its future, but according to sources, the NFL Players Association has not been willing to discuss it just yet. According to a Washington Post report Tuesday, the NFLPA is not expected to formally negotiate with the NFL and team owners on a potential 18-game schedule and other issues regarding the labor agreement until 'at least early next year.' Per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the 'reason for the delay isn't clear.' Goodell and the team owners have been pushing for the expanded schedule to improve the league's position from a media rights perspective, particularly in preparation for a new media package being on the line. Goodell has also made it known the league would like to expand the number of international games to at least 16. From an NFLPA perspective, the added game and additional travel bring obvious player safety concerns up for discussion. Still, it's believed the expanded schedule is an inevitability. It's just a matter of when the NFLPA will be willing to discuss and negotiate. The current Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) expires after the 2030 season.
