Shedeur Sanders Not Guaranteed QB1 Role In 2026, Deshaun Watson Unlikely To Play In 2025

December 4th, 2025 at 10:56pm CST by Ben Levine

Shedeur Sanders hasn’t looked completely hopeless through the first two starts of his career, but the Browns aren’t ready to hand him the reins. As ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano write, the rookie quarterback will be afforded a long leash through the end of the 2025 season, but Sanders is unlikely to be guaranteed the QB1 role for 2026 unless he “lights it up.”

As Fowler notes, Sanders has reinforced the coaching staff’s belief that he’s able to limit turnovers; the rookie has only thrown a pair of picks this season, although one of those was during a relief appearance in Week 11. And, while Sanders had a reputation for taking an unsustainable amount of sacks during his college career, he’s only been sacked four times in his two starts.

At the same time, the Browns understand that the fifth-round pick may not be their answer at the position, especially since the team could easily pursue an alternative via free agency or the draft this offseason. The team also has Dillon Gabriel on the roster, although Fowler notes that the rookie third-round pick projects as more of a capable QB2. Rival coaches opined that Gabriel is further along in his development than Sanders, but there’s also a belief that Sanders has a higher upside with his arm strength and larger frame.

Either way, the Browns will use the final stretch of the season to see if Sanders or Gabriel may be their answer for the 2026 season. The team already gave Gabriel six starts, and it appears the coaching staff is determined to give Sanders a similar amount of reps before the season is through. As Fowler notes, it’s pertinent that the franchise knows whether their 2026 starter is currently on the roster.

Of course, Deshaun Watson‘s recent return to practice slightly complicates things. However, sources told Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports that the highly paid quarterback only has a slim chance of seeing the field in 2025. The veteran will continue to take limited practice reps, but Jones estimates that Watson will only have 10 practices under his belt by the time the Browns have to make a decision on his activation for Week 17.

Taking into account the player’s lengthy rehab of a torn Achilles, it seems the organization simply wants to give Watson some practice reps ahead of the 2026 offseason. Considering the quarterback’s release would leave the organization with a record-breaking $80MM in dead cap for the 2026 season, it’s all but certain that Watson will remain on the roster next year. If neither Sanders nor Gabriel establish themselves as a sure-thing starter heading into the offseason, the Browns seem destined to have at least a four-man competition for the QB1 spot during next year’s training camp and preseason.

Dillon Gabriel Clears Concussion Protocol; Browns To Start Shedeur Sanders In Week 13

November 24th, 2025 at 10:55pm CST by Adam La Rose

Shedeur Sanders made his first career start yesterday. His ascension to the top of the depth chart was made out of necessity, but his second start will come by way of a coaching decision.

Kevin Stefanski said on Monday that Dillon Gabriel has cleared concussion protocol. Nevertheless, the Browns will give the nod once again to Sanders in Week 13. Cleveland won 24-10 in Vegas yesterday, and the team will give its fifth-round rookie at least one more look as a result.

“The number one job of a quarterback is to win,” Stefanski said (via ESPN’s Daniel Oyefusi). “So, excited to get that first win under his belt. And the next thing is improvement, and that’s what young players do… You get one game better, and that’s just from working at it. So, that’ll be our focus.”

Gabriel’s concussion left him sidelined for Week 12, ending a run of five consecutive starts. The third-rounder was limited to the first half of the Browns’ game against the Ravens the previous week. That allowed Sanders to finish the contest in his place. During that time, Sanders completed just four of 16 pass attempts while being intercepted once and sacked twice.

A full week of practice with the starting offense – a first in Sanders’ case given Cleveland’s logjam at quarterback through training camp and the start of the season – resulted in increased expectations for his first career start. The Colorado product had an up-and-down day highlighted on one hand by a 52-yard completion to Isaiah Bond and on the other hand by an avoidable interception. Overall, Sanders went 11-for-2o passing for 209 yards, one touchdown and one pick.

Improvement on those numbers will obviously be a goal moving forward, and future opponents will in many cases prove to be more challenging than the Raiders. Cleveland’s next game will be at home against San Francisco. Sanders and the Browns will look to build off the momentum from yesterday’s contest in Week 13 and moving forward.

When asked if this is a permanent decision, Stefanski said his attention is only focused on this week. As a result, the door could be open to Dillon – who has posted only a 5.1 yards per attempt average while completing just 59.2% of his passes – returning to the QB1 spot. Much will of course depend on how Sanders fares this coming Sunday. A win against the 49ers would make him the first rookie Browns passer since Bernie Kosar in 1985 to begin a career 2-0.

Minor NFL Transactions: 11/22/25

November 22nd, 2025 at 6:43pm CST by Ely Allen

Here are Week 12’s minor moves and standard gameday practice squad elevations for the Sunday slate tomorrow:

Arizona Cardinals

Baltimore Ravens

Cincinnati Bengals

Cleveland Browns

Green Bay Packers

Kansas City Chiefs

Los Angeles Rams

New England Patriots

New Orleans Saints

New York Giants

New York Jets

Seattle Seahawks

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tennessee Titans

There hasn’t been much of an update since it was reported that rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel was going through the league’s concussion protocol. He was able to get some limited practice time in yesterday, but he hasn’t yet been cleared. With Gabriel’s status up in the air, Zappe is getting called up in case he’s needed to back up the new starting rookie, Shedeur Sanders.

O’Connell and Sheriff are getting called up with linebackers Tyrice Knight out with a concussion and Ernest Jones questionable with a knee injury. This will be O’Connell’s third and final practice squad elevation, so if the Seahawks wants to see him play again this year, they will need to sign him to the active roster.

Browns’ Shedeur Sanders To Start In Week 12

November 19th, 2025 at 10:29pm CST by Connor Byrne

With Dillon Gabriel in concussion protocol, the 2-8 Browns will turn to their third starting quarterback of the season in Week 12. Fifth-round rookie Shedeur Sanders will get the nod against the Raiders on Sunday, head coach Kevin Stefanski announced.

Gabriel suffered his injury in last Sunday’s loss to the Ravens, paving the way for Sanders’ NFL debut. He completed 4 of 16 passes for 47 yards and an interception in relief of Gabriel, a third-round rookie who has struggled mightily since taking over in Week 5.

The Browns named Gabriel their starter after trading Joe Flacco to the Bengals on Oct. 7. The left-hander has tossed seven touchdowns against two interceptions in eight games, but he has posted a subpar 59.2 completion percentage and an 80.8 passer rating. His 30.9 QBR ranks 32nd in the NFL.

Stefanski said Gabriel’s health is “improving,” but not quickly enough for him to play against another 2-8 team this weekend. Sanders will get all the first-team reps in practice this week, per Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com. That should give Sanders a better chance to succeed than he had when he came off the bench in Week 11.

There may not have been a more polarizing prospect in last spring’s draft than Sanders. Many expected him to go in the first round, but the former Colorado standout fell all the way to pick 144. Even though the Browns took Gabriel two rounds earlier, they couldn’t pass on Sanders’ value in Round 5. They traded up for the 2024 Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, which came after some teams reportedly removed Sanders from their draft boards. Various clubs had concerns that Sanders didn’t take his pre-draft interviews seriously, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk wrote in May.

While the Ravens were prepared to use the 141st pick on Sanders, he was reportedly uninterested in joining a team with an established QB. AFC North rival Cleveland presented a clearer path to playing time than Baltimore, which has two-time MVP Lamar Jackson entrenched as its signal-caller.

Sanders will now have at least one week to make his case to serve as the Browns’ starter for the rest of the season. Poised to finish near the bottom of the league standings for the second straight year, the Browns will enter the draft armed with two first-round selections (one acquired from Jacksonville). If the Browns aren’t convinced they have the answer in Gabriel, Sanders, or the injured Deshaun Watson when April rolls around, they could use a high pick on a QB.

Browns QB Dillon Gabriel In Concussion Protocol

November 17th, 2025 at 9:00pm CST by Ben Levine

Dillon Gabriel exited the Browns’ Week 11 loss and was evaluated for a concussion, and he’ll now have to overcome league protocol if he hopes to play in Week 12. As expected, the rookie quarterback is in the concussion protocol, coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters today (including Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal).

[RELATED: Browns QB Dillon Gabriel Exits Week 11]

While it’s uncertain when Gabriel suffered his concussion yesterday, the team believes it occurred with about a minute remaining in the first half, when he was tackled by a group of Baltimore defenders. Stefanski revealed that the QB started showing symptoms during halftime, leading to the decision to pull him from the game.

The coach was noncommittal about the team’s QB plans for Week 12, noting that the priority was getting Gabriel healthy and through protocol. However, Stefanski did admit that the team would consider simply benching their starter for Week 12, paving the way for fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders to garner his first NFL start.

“Yeah, we’ll work through that in the next couple days and this week,” Stefanski said (via Easterling). “I’ll update you guys Wednesday as we get into Vegas preparations.”

Stefanski made it clear yesterday that Gabriel would return to the top of the depth chart once he’s healthy enough to play, so Sanders’ stint as QB1 would be short lived. The Colorado product struggled in his NFL debut yesterday, completing only four of his 16 pass attempts for 47 yards and one interception.

With Gabriel in concussion protocol and Joe Flacco now in Cincinnati, the Browns are currently operating with one healthy QB on the active roster. For those wondering, Deshaun Watson won’t be an option for the foreseeable future. Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com writes that while Watson is “coming along well” in his recovery from his ruptured Achilles, he’s still not close to practicing with the Browns. While the veteran is eligible to be designated for return at any time, it seems likely that Watson will be sidelined for the entirety of the 2025 campaign. If Gabriel is forced to miss Week 12, Bailey Zappe would likely serve as Cleveland’s QB2.

Elsewhere on the injury front, Dom Jones is likely heading to injured reserve, according to Easterling. The cornerback suffered a leg injury towards the end of Sunday’s loss. The undrafted rookie has emerged as a key special teamer in Cleveland this season, with the Colorado State product collecting five tackles.

Browns QB Dillon Gabriel Exits Week 11 Game Due To Possible Concussion; Shedeur Sanders Replaces Gabriel

November 16th, 2025 at 6:45pm CST by Rory Parks

Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel played the first half of Sunday’s Week 11 matchup against the Ravens, but he was evaluated for a concussion at halftime and subsequently ruled out for the remainder of the contest (via ESPN’s Adam Schefter). Shedeur Sanders entered the game in relief of Gabriel and got his first taste of regular season action at the professional level.

Sanders, of course, was one of the most-discussed players in this year’s NFL news cycle. The polarizing prospect was once considered to have first-round upside, but he ultimately dropped to the fifth round of the 2025 draft before the Browns finally put an end to his precipitous slide (two rounds after Cleveland selected Gabriel). Veteran Joe Flacco opened the season as the club’s starting quarterback, but following his demotion in favor of Gabriel, Sanders remained the third-string passer.

Even after the trade that sent Flacco to the Bengals, head coach Kevin Stefanski did not immediately name Sanders as Gabriel’s backup. Practice squadder Bailey Zappe appeared to be in consideration for the role, which led to further questions about Sanders’ progress in practice.

Although Stefanski ultimately did tap Sanders as the Browns’ QB2 behind Gabriel, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported earlier this week that the team did not seem anxious to get the second-generation talent into a game. In the end, Gabriel’s head injury forced Stefanski’s hand.

At the end of September, Albert Breer of SI.com expressed his belief that neither Gabriel nor Sanders could do anything this season to prevent the Browns from selecting a passer in the first round of the 2026 draft. Through the first five starts of his pro career, Gabriel did not do anything to refute that notion, as he led the team to a 1-4 record while posting a poor quarterback rating and QBR of 80.4 and 32.3, respectively.

Breer recently reiterated his opinion that Cleveland’s 2026 starting quarterback is not presently on the roster. Interestingly, however, he said he can envision a scenario in which Deshaun Watson takes the field this season.

Watson, who is recovering from a second Achilles tear, is presently on the Browns’ reserve/PUP list. The latest reporting on the matter suggested the embattled passer is unlikely to play in 2025, but Breer’s note injects a little more intrigue into the situation. 

Due to Watson’s albatross contract, the Browns would be hit with a ghastly $131.16MM dead cap charge if they were to cut him in the offseason, which lends credence to Breer’s belief that it can’t hurt to have Cleveland trot him out this year if he is healthy enough to play. On the other hand, that obviously would prevent additional evaluation of Gabriel and/or Sanders.

The Browns went into halftime of the Baltimore contest with a 16-10 lead but lost 23-16. Sanders was unable to engineer any scoring drives, and he completed just four of 16 passes for 47 yards and an interception. He added three rushes for 16 yards.

In fairness to Sanders, he had taken no practice reps with the first-team offense, as Stefanski told reporters after the game (via Zac Jackson of The Athletic). Stefanski added Gabriel will return to his QB1 post whenever he clears the concussion protocol.

Shedeur Sanders Uncertain To Move Into Browns’ QB2 Role; Latest On Deshaun Watson

October 8th, 2025 at 9:16pm CST by Sam Robinson

Shedeur Sanders‘ eventful 2025 included early buzz about being a top-five pick, before a freefall to Round 5 capped a regrettable pre-draft process. The rookie went from Cleveland’s QB4 during training camp to preseason starter, due to other passers’ injuries, and then saw the team’s Kenny Pickett trade shake up the depth chart.

The Browns installed Sanders as their No. 3 option, and that did not change after they demoted Joe Flacco to start Dillon Gabriel. Flacco worked as Cleveland’s backup in Week 5, with Sanders stuck at QB3. Even though Flacco has since followed Pickett out the door via trade, Kevin Stefanski stopped short of confirming Sanders would be the team’s backup moving forward.

Bailey Zappe resides on the Browns’ practice squad. Stefanski said (via the Lorain Morning Journal’s Jeff Schudel) he was not ready to name a backup as of Wednesday, calling into question Sanders’ role once again. Although Sanders is believed to have shown improvement and received additional work post-practice, maturity concerns have presented themselves.

Multiple speeding violations occurred in the offseason, and Sanders took a strange step when interviewed following the news of Gabriel’s promotion last week. As could be expected, the Colorado alum pantomiming answers to media questions went over oddly. While Sanders held a discussion with Browns officials (per NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport) about his decision to conduct a silent press conference of sorts, the Browns not turning to him as their unquestioned backup post-Flacco does not exactly paint a glowing picture of the fifth-rounder’s organizational standing.

Jimmy Haslam said in August the Browns needed to see both Gabriel and Sanders play before determining their 2026 draft path. Sanders’ scout-team work in practice has led to a role as the team’s emergency QB3, meaning (thanks to the Brock Purdy rule) he could only play if the team’s first two passers went down. Zappe rejoined the Browns after the Chiefs cut him in training camp and has resided on the team’s practice squad since. The Browns could elevate Zappe for Week 6 without making a corresponding roster move.

If Cleveland elevates Zappe over Sanders, more attention will be paid to the latter’s development (or lack thereof). It would lend more weight to the narrative ownership wanted Sanders while Stefanski and Andrew Berry did not. Haslam and Berry denied such an order took place, of course, though the Browns circling back to Sanders after choosing Gabriel in Round 3 remains an unusual route. A value-based play led Sanders to Ohio. The Browns want Sanders to be ready if/when he is called upon. A former Patriots draftee, Zappe has made nine NFL starts — including one with the Browns last season — and would make sense as a stopgap backup while Sanders continues to acclimate.

The Browns, of course, technically have four quarterbacks rostered. Deshaun Watson remains on the team’s reserve/PUP list. It has long been viewed as unlikely the Browns will deploy Watson this season, and Rapoport adds nothing is believed to have changed on that front.

Watson is recovering a second Achilles tear. The high-priced quarterback submitted woeful work last season, with Stefanski repeatedly asked to justify why he had not benched him. Because of the five-year, fully guaranteed $230MM extension Watson signed in 2022 (and the numerous restructures the team has made for cap purposes), he remains on Cleveland’s roster.

Stefanski declined to address the prospect of Watson playing this season, indicating he is “so focused on this week.” Watson resumed throwing in mid-May but spent camp on the active/PUP list before being transferred to the reserve/PUP list in late August. Over the summer, some in the embattled QB’s camp were optimistic he would be cleared in late October or early November, per Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer. But nothing has come to pass yet.

Considering Haslam admitted the trade was a mistake, it would surprise if Watson played for the Browns again. But with Pickett and Flacco gone, the QB technically has fewer obstacles in his path. Though, the Browns’ need to evaluate Gabriel and Sanders — and the team’s natural interest in the 2026 QB class — would interfere with a Watson return.

“He’s doing an excellent job with his rehab,” Stefanski said, via Pro Football Talk’s Myles Simmons. “We haven’t seen him as part of the throwing process with the team and those types of things. But he’s working very hard. He’s doing a great job in the meeting room.”

Browns To Start QB Dillon Gabriel In Week 5

October 1st, 2025 at 11:28pm CST by Nikhil Mehta

The Browns will start rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel in place of veteran Joe Flacco in their Week 5 matchup in London, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The team confirmed that Gabriel would be taking over under center, as first reported by CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz on Tuesday. Shedeur Sanders will remain in place as the third-string quarterback, per The Athletic’s Dianna Russini.

Cleveland has long been expected to give Gabriel a try at some point this season. After four rough outings by Flacco – featuring a 2:6 touchdown-to-interception ratio and career lows of 5.1 yards per attempt and a 60.3 passer rating – the rookie will get his chance. Sunday will not be Gabriel’s debut, as he played at the end of blowout losses in Weeks 2 and 4, but it will be his first extended action in the pros.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski certainly did not choose the easiest or simplest week to make such a significant change. The Browns are in London this week, contending with a bevy of added factors including the time difference and lack of access to their usual facilities. They are also playing the Vikings, who have been across the pond since last Friday, giving them more time to acclimate.

Minnesota’s defense has also been a top-10 unit this season. They rank ninth in points allowed and seventh in total defense with the third-best passing defense. Defensive coordinator Brian Flores has harassed opposing quarterbacks with a 35.8% blitz rate (fourth-highest) and a 31.7% pressure rate (second-highest) with a variety of creative pressure packages. As a result, Gabriel’s first NFL start could be a rough one, though Tony Grossi of The Land on Demand notes that the rookie may introduce a “quicker pace” to the Browns offense.

Stefanski addressed the quarterback change on Wednesday, saying of Gabriel (via ESPN’s Daniel Oyefusi): “From the second he’s been here, he’s been working very hard. He’s a very intelligent young man. He’s done a nice job throughout practice and this whole season he’s been learning how to get yourself ready and understand the rhythm of an NFL week and what that looks like as a backup. Obviously now feel like he’s ready to go as a starter.”

Gabriel’s ascendance marks a number of milestones. He is the Browns’ 41st starting quarterback since the team was re-established in 1999, and the 12th quarterback in six years of Stefanski’s tenure, per Grossi. Gabriel is also the third rookie quarterback to start this season, and the first non-first-rounder.

With Cooper Rush expected to start in the place of an injured Lamar Jackson in Week 5, the AFC North’s quarterbacks are now Gabriel, Rush, Jake Browning in Cincinnati, and Aaron Rodgers in Steelers. Rodgers is the only Week 1 starter left standing, while Browning took over for Joe Burrow after he went down with turf toe.

Though Sanders will remain third on the depth chart, he could still play this season, per CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones. Cleveland’s willingness to give one rookie a chance suggests that Sanders could receive a similar opportunity if Gabriel falters, though he will certainly get a few games to prove himself.

Browns Rumors: Rookie QBs, Kicker, Jones

September 28th, 2025 at 8:02pm CST by Ely Allen

While Joe Flacco may be the best available quarterback to start for the Browns offense at the moment, the 40-year-old is clearly not the team’s quarterback of the future. After a 1-3 start to the season, some may be calling to get a look at one of the two rookies Cleveland drafted back in April, but according to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, it doesn’t seem like either quarterback could do anything to prevent the team from drafting a first-round passer next year.

It made some sense to start Flacco even if the Browns didn’t have much confidence in their ability to contend for a title. An opening slate of games against the Bengals, Ravens, Packers, Lions, Vikings, and Steelers — all playoff teams from last year after Week 1 — would be a brutal introduction to the NFL for a rookie passer and may do more harm than good for the player’s development. It made sense to have Flacco start a good number of these games and reevaluate.

If Flacco could amass a good record through a daunting opening stretch, the team could stick with him and hope for a potential playoff run with an easier stretch of games later on in the season. If the team was clearly far from contending for a playoff spot, the back portion of the season could be used to see what they have in Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. One of the two rookies could really spark the offense and prove themselves as the team’s quarterback of the future.

Not according to Breer. While Breer agrees that, at some point, Gabriel and Sanders may find the field later this year, he doesn’t believe that there’s anything the two could do over the next four months to prevent the Browns from taking a quarterback with one of their two first-round picks in 2026. Breer points to the travel schedule of the Browns’ top personnel staffers, who went “to see a few of the top college quarterbacks over Labor Day weekend,” something he expects they’ll continue to do.

Here are a couple other rumors coming out of Cleveland:

  • After some early season struggles, some wondered if the Browns had made the right decision going with Andre Szmyt as their kicker, but the team stood behind him. According to Tony Grossi of 850 ESPN Cleveland, the team did reach out to another kicker to “be on hold” when Szmyt suffered a midweek calf injury last week, but Szmyt recovered and won AFC Special Teams Player of the Week after kicking a 55-yard game-winner against the Packers. We had noted a workout with veteran kicker Matthew Wright on the Saturday before the Green Bay game, but whether or not the two reports are related is unknown.
  • Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reported that left tackle Dawand Jones‘ surgery to repair the LCL tear in his knee and his hamstring aversion was successfully performed last Thursday. James Voo, the team physician who performed the surgery, expects Jones to make a full recovery in time for the 2026 NFL season.

Browns Not Considering Change At QB

September 14th, 2025 at 9:42pm CST by Ely Allen

We’re two weeks into the 2025 season, and the Browns sit, once again, in the AFC North’s basement. The NFL season is long, lots can change, and head coach Kevin Stefanski understands that. That’s why, today, he told the media that he is not considering a quarterback change at the moment, according to Zac Jackson of The Athletic.

A rough start may have been expected given a brutal opening stretch of games that started with the Bengals before heading to a string of 2024 playoff squads in the Ravens, Packers, Lions, Vikings, and Steelers. With so many high-profile matchups to open up their 2025 campaign, it was clear that veteran Joe Flacco gave Cleveland its best chance at finding some victories across that gauntlet.

After several attempts throughout the offseason to land a top-tier quarterback through trade (Matthew Stafford), free agency (Russell Wilson), and the draft (Cam Ward) the Browns ended up with the stable of Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and mid-round rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. When Pickett was traded for the second time in one offseason, many assumed that Cleveland had its eyes on the 2026 quarterback draft class, which posed a couple questions for how the Browns would handle their season.

Flacco was set in place to start the season and try to win as many games as could be expected with the early playoff slate. Though Week 1 ended in a loss, Flacco cut it loose in the one-point game, throwing for 290 yards. Today’s contest in his familiar old home of Baltimore, Flacco didn’t fare nearly as well against the Ravens. In the 41-17 route, Flacco found the bench late in the fourth quarter, and Gabriel made his NFL debut.

Though, Gabriel completed all three of his pass attempts for 19 yards and a touchdown, there will be no QB controversy as a result. Flacco’s benching appeared to be more of a safety measure, as the game was clearly out of reach and there was no point in the veteran continuing to face a defense that totaled nine quarterback hits on the day.

Based on Stefanski’s comments, Flacco will be back under center to start against the Packers next Sunday. Gabriel may see time again if things get out of hand for either team, and injuries are always possible, but it’s seemingly still too early in the season to give up Flacco, who proved two years ago that he could win games in this system and take this team to the playoffs. It’s important to realize, though, that, at 40 years old, Flacco is not the future of the position in Cleveland.

If, at any point, the season gets out of hand and the playoffs fall out of reach, then it may behoove the team’s decision makers to see what they have in their rookie quarterbacks. Gabriel and/or Sanders may end up developing into difference-makers at the position given some time and experience in NFL games, and if Flacco isn’t going to deliver the team to the playoffs, it would be worth it to see what either quarterback has to offer. At this point, though, it may do more harm than good to put Gabriel and Sanders up against a slew of playoff defenses.
