Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders has hired an agent, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.
Sanders has signed with Adie von Gontard, CEO of Young Money APAA Sports, to represent him. Sanders previously did not have an agent, going through the NFL Draft and the first part of his career self-represented.
Sanders’ former Colorado teammate, Jacksonville’s Travis Hunter, also signed with the same agency.
This change for Sanders calls to mind now-Texans receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who also had been self-represented until recently. Harrison hiring an agent helped facilitate a trade from Arizona to Houston.
While the Browns have not shown an interest in moving Sanders — with recent reports noting the team would like to keep and continue developing him — Sanders hiring an agent now could streamline the process for any potential transaction down the line.
