What happened: The Cleveland Browns made no trades prior to Tuesday's 4 p.m. NFL trade deadline, keeping their 53-man roster intact. The decision follows a 23-22 overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, in which Cleveland failed on a late two-point conversion try.
Why it matters: The quiet deadline keeps rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders in place after Monken left the starting quarterback position undecided following the loss. Cleveland remains in postseason contention despite dropping two straight games, but faces lingering questions about late-game execution.
By the numbers: Sanders has completed 22 of 34 passes for 299 yards with 2 touchdowns in 2026 through 3 games. Cleveland is 5-4 through 9 games, sitting eighth in the AFC on a two-game losing streak.
What to watch: Cleveland moves forward into Week 11 seeking to snap its two-game skid as the coaching staff resolves the starting quarterback role.
