Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders has hired NFL agent Adie von Gontard for the first time in his pro career, triggering fresh speculation about his near-term future. Multiple outlets link the move to possible trade talks as the NFL approaches the trade deadline, with Sanders’ limited playing time after Deshaun Watson took over raising questions about his role in Cleveland.
Reporting across outlets describes the Browns as having multiple quarterbacks available, which adds context to why a trade could be considered. Times of India and Fox News specifically point to the Dallas Cowboys as a potential destination, suggesting Dallas may view Sanders as a developmental option or backup plan. Other coverage focuses more on what the agent hire signals to league teams and highlights von Gontard’s background, including that she/ he represents Jaguars receiver Travis Hunter, Sanders’ former college teammate.
While the articles do not confirm any trade, they generally agree that Sanders’ first agent decision is a key development and that several teams could be monitoring Cleveland’s quarterback depth.
