Hall of Famer Deion Sanders’ proposed meeting with Cleveland Browns coach Todd Monken isn’t set yet, but Monken said Wednesday he’s all for it.Sanders, the coach at the University of Colorado, coached his son Shedeur at both Colorado and Jackson State. Now, Monken is coaching Shedeur Sanders in Cleveland — and Monken knows of Deion Sanders’ public proposal for a conversation about the second-year quarterback, who’s still competing to become Monken’s first starter with the Browns.“First of all, I can’t wait,” Monken said. “I’ve got a lot of respect for Coach Sanders, obviously as a player, but also what he’s done as a coach, and obviously he’s done a great job with Shedeur as a father.“I’m open anytime he wants to meet. (Deion Sanders) said he was going to come (to Cleveland), but he had a commercial. So, if he just lets me know where the next commercial shoot is, I’ll be there. I’ll show up.”Monken’s travel schedule doesn’t open up until mid-June. The Browns have four more practices on their offseason itinerary, and Monken has offered few real clues about who’s leading the quarterback competition between Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson.In an appearance on the Cleveland-based podcast “The Barbershop” last month, Deion Sanders said he loved Monken and viewed the first-time NFL head coach as a “straight shooter.”“(Monken) keeps it a buck,” Sanders said. “I want to meet him because I think it is vital that as a coach, not a dad, I can tell him a few things about Shedeur on how to get him going. That wasn’t asked of me a year ago. I can’t wait to have that conversation with Coach Monken.”Shedeur Sanders has repeatedly hinted that he wasn’t given a proper opportunity to compete for the Browns’ starting job last summer. Sanders ended up starting the final seven games of his rookie season; he made his NFL debut last November as an injury replacement despite never having had a practice rep with any of the team’s offensive starters.Watson is back for the final year of a contract that’s become one of the NFL’s most burdensome. Watson has made just 19 starts over four seasons and hasn’t played since October of 2024 due to a twice-torn Achilles tendon, but Monken has said he believed an open competition would be the best way to determine the team’s starter for 2026. Monken has repeatedly said he wants to have a starter by early in training camp so the team’s focus can fully shift to preparation for the season, but he’s also hinted that no decision is imminent.“I’m not sure we will be there,” Monken said Wednesday. “I’m just not. I think both quarterbacks have played well enough when we’re not in pads. But we haven’t played any games and I haven’t gotten to the point (of naming a starter) yet.”Watson seemed to get more first-team reps than Sanders in the Browns’ first two organized team activity practices that were open to reporters, but Sanders was first up in all competitive full-team drills Wednesday in the Browns’ penultimate OTA session. On what was largely a sloppy day for the offense, at a point when things should be progressing, one of the few offensive highlights was a Sanders deep ball to second-year wide receiver Isaiah Bond.The Browns will hold their ninth and final OTA practice Thursday. A three-day mandatory minicamp begins June 9.Earlier this week, the Browns made a blockbuster and at least somewhat surprising trade when they sent two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams for a package that included three draft picks and Pro Bowl edge rusher Jared Verse. The defense should be strong again, even without Garrett, but Monken was hired to fix an offense that’s finished near the bottom of the league in almost every scoring and yardage category in each of the last two seasons.Shedeur Sanders showed some promise in his rookie season but was inconsistent while playing through the end of the season with an overmatched offensive group. Even with the Browns embracing a multiyear rebuild, the team hopes Monken can resuscitate the offense — and Monken hopes Deion Sanders follows through with his plans for an in-person meeting.“I really am looking forward to it,” Monken said. “I’ve got a ton of respect for him, and I got a ton of respect for Shedeur, because all he’s done since I’ve been here is work. That’s all he’s done is compete. He was here early in the offseason. Hell, he bought me a horse head (for Monken’s 60th birthday).“He tried to, you know, cheese up to me early, which is really cool. So, it’s been great.”
