Story summary

The Cleveland Browns are holding onto their young quarterbacks Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel, despite the rising trade market for quarterback help. According to team insider Mary Kay Cabot, the Browns have no plans to trade either player before the November 10 trade deadline. This decision may surprise some fans as teams like the Giants, Commanders, and Bears are looking for new quarterbacks due to injuries or poor performance by their current starters.
