Cleveland Browns Reshape Quarterback Lineup with Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco

With Deshaun Watson sidelined for the 2025 season, Kenny Pickett aims to start, while Joe Flacco offers veteran competition and leadership.

Deshaun Watson is expected to miss the entire 2025 NFL season due to a recurring Achilles injury.
The Browns traded Dorian Thompson-Robinson and a 2025 fifth-round pick to acquire Kenny Pickett from the Philadelphia Eagles.
Kenny Pickett has expressed confidence in securing the starting quarterback role, emphasizing his readiness to compete and lead.
Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco has been signed to a one-year, $4 million deal to provide experience and depth to the Browns' quarterback room.
The Browns are expected to further bolster their quarterback roster by selecting a signal-caller in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft, with options ranging from early to mid-round picks.
