The Cleveland Browns decide to cut ties with Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel in a recent 2026 NFL mock draft that has the team taking an electric quarterback from South Carolina who scored 25 touchdowns in 2024.

It has certainly been a wild ride for Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who was expected to be a first-round pick in the NFL Draft but instead fell all the way to Round 5, where the Browns traded up to land him.

Cabot noted that the Browns also made the decision as they are “straddling two worlds between trying to win in 2025, and determining their strategy in the 2026 draft,” now that they have the Jaguars' two 2026 first round picks that could land within the top 10 depending on how their season plays out.
