It was projected that Shedeur Sanders would go as soon as number 2 before his inexplicable slide. The Cleveland Browns finally selected Sanders in the fifth round of the NFL draft last month.
On Monday, the Browns said Sanders signed his rookie contract. ESPN reported that Sanders’ four -year rookie agreement is valued at $ 4.6 million.
The latest NFL collective bargaining agreement introduced fixed rookie salary scales, which effectively eliminates negotiations. As Sanders was the general selection 144, he was slotted to win $ 4.6 million in his first contract.

It was speculated that Sanders could make an offer to Carter to recover his number of university football. But Sanders hinted that his modest signature bonus would prevent him from pursuing his old number.

Spotrac estimated that Sanders’s signature bonus will register just over $ 446,000.
The total value of the Sanders contract is less than its name of name, image and likeness (null) that accumulated during his career in university football. According to On3, Sanders had an assessment of $ 6.5 million while playing for Colorado.

Reaching an agreement on a several -year contract could provide Sanders for some security, since it competes for a place on the list and tries to advance in the depth table of the Browns.
The 23 -year -old is part of a field marshal room full of people in Cleveland that presents Deshaun WatsonJoe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel.
Sanders ended the 2024 season in Colorado with 4,134 air yards.
