Once again stating that Andrew Berry made the call, Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said he had nothing to do with the selection of Shedeur Sanders

Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam downplayed the popular narrative that the franchise has its eyes on Texas quarterback Arch Manning in the 2026 NFL Draft. Haslam acknowledged his relationship with the Manning family as a Tennessee alumnus on Tuesday, but stopped short of speculating on rumors of his franchise's plan next spring.

Blame him for plenty, but Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said he's not directly responsible for a recent high-profile draft pick. While his influence is undeniable, Haslam said Tuesday that he didn't force general manager Andrew Berry to take rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders in April.
