Flacco didn't play in the team's three preseason games, but Cleveland will trot him out vs. the Bengals in Week 1

Joe Flacco will be the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback to begin the 2025 campaign. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski named Flacco the starter for the team's Week 1 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals over Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders.

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe talk Joe Flacco winning the Browns QB job and Isaiah Bond officially signing.

The Browns currently have four quarterbacks vying for the starting job, and all of them were offseason additions. Cleveland traded for Kenny Pickett, signed Joe Flacco in free agency and selected both Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders in the NFL Draft.

While he impressed on his preseason debut before suffering an ill-timed injury, Shedeur Sanders has officially missed out on the chance to be the Cleveland Browns' initial starting quarterback
