Cleveland Browns made a quarterback change on top of the depth card, but the bottom of it remains the same.
The team announced on Wednesday that Pick Dillon Gabriel in the third round will take over the starting job instead of Joe Flacco. However, Flacco’s demolition did not change the position of Sanders’ position.
Flacco will be Cleveland’s backup this weekend, while Sanders, a fifth round choice, stays in the third strand.

However, ESPN analyst Louis Riddick said in Wednesday’s edition of “Get Up” that Brown’s “doesn’t want” to return to Flacco, giving Sanders an open look.
“If you are tightening right now, here’s your opportunity to get more reps. If you Sandeur Sanders right now, no matter what you’re doing, I’ll take it up a whole ‘NothE level,” Riddick said. “Because Dillon is not promised to stay in there. This is really a sample for everyone. The guy we may not have seen the last of him yet.”
Sanders made with eyebrow-collect comments last week in an interview with Espn Cleveland.
“I know if you see the quarterback game in the league right now, I know I’m able to do better than that,” he said.

Sanders said he has prepared himself As if he could be called upon at any time.
“I don’t think play or not play is in my hands. I think, based on the situation, if things panel where I play, then I’m out there ready to play. I’m ready to play right now,” he said.
“I focus every day on what I have to do, and just because of where I’m in depth, I don’t let it dictate my mind every single day. You don’t know what can happen or could happen. So it’s really just keeping the mindset of staying locked inside and staying in everything. Remaining focused on the same thing.”
Gabriel already received some action this season. In the 10 snaps he has played, he is 3-for-4 with a touchdown pass and 19 passing yards.

Flacco, a Super Bowl master, has gone without a touchdown pass in the last two matches and has three interceptions during that time. The Veteran Quarterback has 815 passing yards, two touchdown passes and six interceptions throughout the first four weeks of the season.
