The owner of the Cleveland Browns, Jimmy Haslam, talked about the process that resulted in the team writing Shedersur Sanders in April.
Haslam suggested that the team had no intention of recruiting Sanders after the controversial field Marshal fell surprisingly from the third round on April 25. But Haslam said he changed the next day, the last day of the draft, after a conversation between the brass team.
“If you had told me Friday night [Day 2 of the NFL Draft]Driving home, “you are going to choose Shedeur,” he would have said: “That is not happening,” said Haslam on Tuesday. “But we had an early conversation that morning [Day 3]And we had a conversation later that day, and we had the right people involved in that conversation. “

Haslam also states that it was the general manager of the team, Andrew Berry, who made the decision to write Sanders.
“At the end of the day, that’s [general manager] Andrew Berry call. Andrew made the call to choose Shedeur. Like who is going to start or what game we will call [head coach] Kevin [Stefanski]Call. But that is Andrew’s call. Made the call. “
Sanders, who was projected by some experts to compete for the number 1 team in the NFL 2025 draft after the university football season last year, ended up falling until the 144th selection when Browns finally took him out of the board.

Berry told journalists after the team that “it was not the plan” to take a second field marshal after Cleveland took the Oregon Field Marshal, Dillon Gabriel, with a previous choice.
“It was not necessarily the plan at the end of the weekend to select two quarterbacks, but you know, how we talk, we believe in the best available player. We believe in the positional value. And we do not necessarily expect it to be available in the fifth round,” Berry said at a press conference on April 26.
“So, we love adding competition to each position room. So, add it to compete with the other types that are already there, that was appropriate.”
The presence of Sanders in the Browns has already been affected by the controversy after it was summoned twice due to speeding.
Sanders was fined for the first time to go to 91 mph in an area of 65 mph. Two weeks later, it was 101 in a 60 and It was not compared in court.
The rookie field marshal went to those traffic tickets while appearing in the caridad softball game of his teammate David Njoku last month.
“I made some wrong decisions personally, and I can possess them.” Sanders said. “I did some, you know, no excellent options … I learned.”

Berry criticized Sanders for incidents last week.
“It’s not intelligent. It is simply not intelligent,” Berry told journalists this week about tickets. “It’s something we have addressed with Him. Look, understand the implications. He understands the consequences. It’s not just about yourself. It’s not just about having a joy, but you could harm other people … A deer or something short in front of you, your reaction time, is only dangerous.”
