CLEVELAND >> Shedeur Sanders reached his next NFL milestone on Monday as he signed his rookie contract with the Cleveland Browns.

Cleveland traded up with Seattle to take Sanders in the fifth round with the 144th overall pick as the draft’s most recognizable player fell to the third day.

Sanders will be in a four-way competition for the Browns starting quarterback spot. Cleveland acquired former Steelers first-round pick Kenny Pickett in a trade with Philadelphia at the start of free agency. Last month they signed Joe Flacco last month, who went 4-1 as a starter in 2023 and led the Browns to the playoffs for only the fourth time since their return.

Sirianni is 48-20 and has made the playoffs in all four seasons with the Eagles. He led the Eagles to the Super Bowl in the 2022 season where they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs then won the rematch against Kansas City in the Super Bowl this year.
