Shedeur Sanders had to admit the obvious during a chat with reporters after his first minicamp session this week.
Sanders isn’t going to make as much money as expected after falling in the draft, having slipped out of the first round all the way to the fifth, where the Cleveland Browns put a life net under him at No. 144.
He now has his work cut out for him to prove he deserves a spot on the Browns’ 53-man roster.
His rookie deal, which would span four years, isn’t expected to surpass the $4.6 million mark. As such, the former Colorado star isn’t looking to make any lavish purchases, although he was already a millionaire before the draft.
Shedeur Sanders Isn’t Looking To “Buy Anything”
While speaking to reporters this week, Shedeur was asked whether he would consider buying the No. 2 off DeAndre Carter after the Browns assigned the wide receiver the number.
“I’m not tryna buy anything,” he replied with a smile. “My signing bonus ain’t that high right now.”

The Browns gave Shedeur Sanders the No. 12 instead of allowing him to keep his old college digit, which means he and former CU teammate Travis Hunter will be wearing the same number, unless there’s a change.
When it comes to spending, the new Browns QB can afford to be patient as he’s probably already got everything he wants by now. He’ll have more than enough to splash on lavish purchases if he earns another NFL contract.
