The Browns traded the veteran quarterback as well as a sixth-round draft pick to the Cincinnati Bengals on Tuesday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported. The news comes after Flacco was benched for Cleveland’s Week 5 game against the Minnesota Vikings in favor of rookie Dillon Gabriel. The Browns will receive a fifth-round pick.

In total, the Browns are paying eight quarterbacks in 2025, despite only having three on the roster currently. Dillon Gabriel is making $1.1 million, Shedeur Sanders is making $955,000, and Bailey Zappe is making $315,000.

The Steelers added a young pass rusher to their practice squad as K.J. Henry will be on the team ahead of their matchup against the Browns.

The Cleveland Browns have already traded away Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett, causing a bit of confusion in the locker room.

Calvin Austin was the only scratch on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ injury report before the matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
