Browns Name Joe Flacco Starting QB for Season Opener

News summary

The Cleveland Browns have named veteran Joe Flacco as their starting quarterback for the 2025 season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals, a decision expected due to Flacco's experience and familiarity with the offense. Meanwhile, the backup quarterback job remains contested among Dillon Gabriel, Kenny Pickett, and Shedeur Sanders, with Gabriel emphasizing his competitive focus while addressing media interpretations of his comments. Kenny Pickett is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, which has widened Flacco's lead as the starter. The Browns also recently signed undrafted free agent wide receiver Isaiah Bond, who was cleared of sexual assault charges, to address concerns at the wide receiver position. This signing has sparked mixed reactions given the team's history with players who have faced serious legal issues. As the season progresses, the Browns' quarterback situation is expected to remain fluid, with possible playing time for rookies Gabriel and Sanders if Flacco encounters difficulties.
