THE Cleveland Browns locker room has reportedly been uneasy following a moment between Shedeur Sanders and Joe Flacco.
The 2025 fifth-round rookie Sanders and 39-year-old veteran Flacco are competing in a crowded quarterback room.

Last week, Sanders and Flacco were spotted lined up for practice drills at the Browns’ Organized Team Activities (OTAs).
However, a clip showed Sanders asking Flacco, “You ever hit that dance?” before dancing.
Flacco shut down the question, however, as he answered, “Definitely not. I don’t think if I’ve ever hit a public dance move in my life.”
The 17-year NFL veteran then walked away as the video ended.

It was reported by Marca that sources close to the Browns believe that there has been a “split” locker room on the beliefs of Sanders.
The 23-year-old has energized some of the players, most notably of the younger variety, in the locker room.
Sanders has built chemistry with numerous teammates thanks to his personality and presence on social media.
However, some of the veteran players have reportedly kept their distance from the son of Deion Sanders.
There have also been others who haven’t been pleased with Shedeur’s TikToks and live streams during practices.
Nonetheless, Sanders has impressed during his practice time with the team.
But his standing on the 53-man roster this season isn’t locked in.
Sanders is part of a quarterback room that has five quarterbacks in total, including the injured Deshaun Watson.
One of Flacco or Kenny Pickett is expected to win the Browns’ starting quarterback role in Week 1.
Sanders will compete with fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel.
The Browns drafted Gabriel in the third round of April’s NFL Draft.
