The move probably doesn't come as a shock to most fans, as Flacco saw success in head coach Kevin Stefanski's offensive system when he signed mid-season in 2023. He also remains one of the only currently healthy quarterbacks on the Browns' roster.

Joe Flacco has been named the Cleveland Browns starting quarterback, earning the nod over former Oregon Duck Dillon Gabriel and several others.

The third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft made his preseason debut in Saturday's contest with the Eagles ,finishing 13 of 18 for 143 yards with an interception, which was returned for a 75-yard touchdown by Andrew Mukuba, ending his day with a 72.2 passer rating.
