Shedeur Sanders, the former Colorado Buffaloes standout, is currently competing for a QB spot with the Cleveland Browns. But if he’s cut — and that’s possible given the depth chart — he already has a safety net: his name appears on the Toronto Argonauts’ 45-player CFL negotiation list.
Why it matters
Browns roster competition: Drafted in the fifth round, he’s up against Deshaun Watson, Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and Dillon Gabriel. As a lower-round pick, he faces longer odds
CFL rights locked in: Being on the Argos’ list gives Toronto exclusive Canadian negotiating rights — a clear sign the CFL is preparing to be a fallback option if his NFL path stalls
Financial reality: Even though the CFL option exists, Browns rookie deals still pay far more than most CFL contracts — meaning a move north might only happen if absolutely necessary.
