The Browns QB1 work is apparently Joe Flacco to lose spring practices.
It is according to Albert Breer de Sports Illustrated, who declared on Tuesday on “The Rich Eisen Show”, the winner winner of the Super Bowl was in “pole position” to take the initial shots in Cleveland, which added a handful of signalers during the offseason while the Starter Deshaun Watson continues his recovery of an injury from Achilles.
“My feeling is that Joe Flacco will take the first snap in the spring, which has a certain meaning for that,” said Breer about the 40 -year -old, who is on his second pass with the Browns after a surprise place in the playoffs in 2023.
“I think that (the Steelers coach), Mike Tomlin, called him the pole position last year when he spoke of his own quarter situation. I think Joe Flacco has pole position here. ”
FLACCO, who spent last season with the Colts, will participate in the starting employment against Kenny Pickett, a first -round choice in 2022 with the Steelers, and the Dillon Gabriel and Sheder Sanders recruits.
Pickett, fresh out of a super bowl victory with the Eagles, was exchanged at the Browns in March after being the replacement for Jalen Hurts for a year.
Although Flacco can be ready to get “the first snap in the spring”, Breer noted that things could change with Pickett, 26, the training camp in summer.
“The guarantees of the Joe Flacco agreement and the Kenny Pickett agreement are almost identical to each other. So, moving away from one or the other guy would have more or less the same penalty. So, even if Joe Flacco obtains the first shot in the spring, that does not mean, as, Kenny Pickett will not get the work in summer or that Joe Flacco was part of the team if Kenny Pickett wins the work, “said Berer.
Cleveland has several key decisions to be made before the start of the season, in particular which will be the backup quarter and what a quarters will be on the final list.
Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reported on Wednesday how the Browns “look at the list through the prism of value and money”, an initiate suggesting that “could lead to possible trade if injuries occur in the league”.
Gabriel was taken 94th in the general classification of the NFL 2025 recovery while Sanders, the son of the legend of the NFL Dion Sanders, slipped in the fifth round and was taken in n ° 144.
The Browns come out of a 3-14 disastrous campaign which saw a rotation in the quarter after Achilles injury from the Watson season in October.
He reduced his Achilles earlier this year.
Watson’s Browns’ mandate was a disappointment of $ 230 million, owner Jimmy Haslam saying so much in March.
“We took a big swing and missed with Deshaun,” said Haslam about the quarter-arre, who signed a five-year agreement and fully guaranteed with the team after an exchange with the Texans in 2022.
Perhaps, just perhaps, one of the four QB brass Browns brought during the offseason will be the success they desperately need.
