Cleveland Browns Acquire 5th Round Pick After Trading Joe Flacco

The Cleveland Browns have showcased an inclination towards altering their quarterback lineup. During the offseason, they welcomed QB Kenny Pickett, signed QBs Joe Flacco and Tyler Huntley, and drafted QBs Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. However, they later released Huntley and traded Pickett ahead of the season, streamlining their competition from five down to three, with Deshaun Watson remaining as the sixth QB on the roster. In his inaugural start for the Browns, Flacco now serves as a backup to Gabriel, while Sanders holds the position of emergency QB. Recent reports indicate that Flacco is being traded to the Cincinnati Bengals. According to insiders, Cleveland will acquire a fifth-round pick for Flacco, alongside a sixth-round selection from the Detroit Lions. The Bengals, struggling with Jake Browning at the helm due to Joe Burrow's injury, see Flacco as a seasoned choice to energize their offense, reminiscent of his previous impact with Cleveland.
