After dropping to the fifth round of last month’s NFL Draft, Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders signed a four-year rookie contract worth $4.6 million on Monday.

The former Colorado star’s deal includes a $446,553 signing bonus, according to Sportrac.

Sanders, who was the most-talked about prospect in the draft, went to Cleveland with the 144th overall selection. The Browns traded the 166th and 192nd overall picks to the Seattle Seahawks to obtain the No. 144 pick.

Sanders, 23, was the sixth quarterback selected in the draft and the second by the Browns as they secured Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel late in the third round.

The Browns also have three veteran quarterbacks on their roster: DeShaun Watson (who’s injured and won’t play in 2025), recently acquired Kenny Pickett and 40-year-old Super Bowl champion Joe Flacco.

Sanders, voted by the Associated Press as the second-team All-American quarterback last season, had his number retired the weekend prior to the draft at Colorado with expectations to learn his new team during the first round. Instead, he heads to rookie camp well down the totem pole and without his NFL Hall of Fame father, Deion Sanders, as his coach for the first time in nearly a decade.

During his four-year college career that comprised 50 games, Shedeur Sanders completed 70.1 percent of his passes for 14,347 yards, 134 touchdowns and just 27 interceptions.
