What happened: Shedeur Sanders enters the 2026 offseason after completing 56.6% of his passes for 1,400 yards and seven touchdowns across eight games in 2025. The Cleveland Browns quarterback competition remains the situation that matters, regardless of reported Dallas Cowboys interest.

Why it matters: Sanders showed enough to merit further evaluation, but a 56.6% completion rate does not justify unquestioned starter status. Cleveland should judge him on consistency and command of the offense, not outside attention.
