Cleveland Browns' No 1 quarterback revealed after drafting Shedeur Sanders amid Deshaun Watson injury

Joe Flacco is reportedly in ‘pole position’ to be the Cleveland Browns’ No 1 quarterback heading into the 2025 season.

The Browns have a packed quarterback room following last month’s draft, when they picked both Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel.

That left head coach Kevin Stefanski with five signal callers on the roster, with Flacco, Kenny Pickett and injured starter Deshaun Watson already in the building.

Watson faces another lengthy spell on the sidelines after tearing his Achilles again in January.

And according to Sports Illustrated, 40-year-old Flacco is thought to be the man to oust heading into preseason training.

Flacco is back with the Browns for a second stint, while Pickett was traded to Cleveland after helping the Eagles win the Super Bowl.

Former Oregon quarterback Gabriel, meanwhile, was selected ahead of Sanders in last month’s draft.

He was taken by Cleveland with the 94th overall pick, while Sanders had to wait until the fifth round before being selected. It was one of the most stunning slides in NFL history.

The 23-year-old has now been denied the No 2 jersey, which he’s worn since his high school days in Texas. Sanders will instead begin the Browns’ offseason programs as No 12.

Journeyman receiver DeAndre Carter has been given No 2 – a number he hasn’t worn at any of his previous eight stops in the NFL.
