The Cleveland Browns made a surprising move late Wednesday afternoon with the reported signing of quarterback Bailey Zappe to the practice squad.
The addition of Zappe brings the current number of quarterbacks in the locker room to five as he joins starter Joe Flacco, rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, and the injured Deshaun Watson.
Zappe spent time with the Browns in 2024 after they signed him from the practice squad of the Kansas City Chiefs following the season-ending injury to Watson.
A former fourth-round selection by the New England Patriots in the 2022 NFL Draft, Zappe started eight games...

If you wonder why we are over the top about labeling the decisions made on Tuesday as the “initial” 53-man roster so much, Wednesday was a sign of why. The future also holds many more roster decisions, but the Cleveland Browns initial 53-man roster has already seen two additions and two subtractions, while the Browns practice squad officially has nine players so far.
Cleveland may still have a quarterback issue, with rookie Dillon Gabriel installed as the primary backup, but the roster continues to get younger and more athletic.
Wednesday afternoon, reports came that the Browns will be adding former...

The Cleveland Browns begin the 2025 NFL season at home against the Cincinnati Bengals on September 7. That is less than two weeks to prepare for their first opponent.
In training camp this year, the Browns employed six quarterbacks: Deshaun Watson, Joe
Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, Shedeur Sanders, and Tyler Huntley. Flacco and Pickett own Super Bowl rings. Watson and Huntley have Pro Bowl hardware.

Because of ongoing health and rehab situations, Watson was placed on the PUP list. Flacco was then named the season starter while Pickett, Gabriel, and Sanders all had...

The Cleveland Browns began filling out their practice squad on Wednesday afternoon.
Sanders, an undrafted free agent out of Arkansas and South Carolina, had 28 carries for 101 yards (3.6 YPC) and 2 touchdowns, to go along with 5 catches for 29 yards, in the preseason with the Chargers.

With the Cleveland Browns having the No. 2 priority spot for waiver claims, we expected there to be a few moves made after announcing their initial 53-man roster on Tuesday. Sure enough, they didn’t disappoint.
On Wednesday, waiver claims were due by noon ET, and corresponding roster moves for those additions were due by 4 pm ET. The NFL announced that the Browns had placed waiver claims on two players:
“Rocket” Sanders was an undrafted free agent out of Arkansas and South...

There is so much that goes into being a successful NFL quarterback beyond just showing up on Sundays to “ball out.”
Putting in time at practice, learning a new and often more complex offensive system, studying film to decipher defenses that are far more complicated than in college, finding your voice and developing into a leader; it all matters.
Then there are those quarterbacks who bring bad habits with them from the college game, with Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders being the latest example.
Sanders electrified college football the past two seasons at Colorado, but some of the issues...

Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Adin Huntington took a long and winding path to the NFL.
The journey began at Kent State, where Huntington spent three seasons, followed by a year at Louisiana-Monroe before finishing up at Tulane. His best season game in 2023 with the Warhawks when he posted 8.5 sacks and 16 tackles for loss.
Despite having one of the top relative athletic scores among defensive tackles, Huntington went undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft and ultimately signed with the Browns as an undrafted free agent.
While Cleveland’s defensive tackle rotation was not exactly robust, the odds of Huntington...

The Cleveland Browns have locked in their initial 53-man roster with changes expected on Tuesday, especially at the running back position. The Browns also named Dillon Gabriel as the backup to Joe Flacco, leaving the ever-popular Shedeur Sanders as the third stringer after the Kenny Pickett trade.
Releasing kicker Dustin Hopkins put a small dent into the Cleveland salary cap, but the team could no longer afford his struggles in the kicking game.
Before the first wave of waiver claims hits, where the Browns have second priority, a quick look at the initial 53-man roster and how each player was...

As the clock was winding down on every NFL team’s decision on who to release and which players to retain on their initial 53-man roster, there was suddenly a new guy listed on the roster that nobody recognized.
That name on the Cleveland Browns roster and depth chart was listed as KT Leveston. Who is that? Where did his name pop up from?

The dust has settled: Joe Flacco was named the Browns’ starting quarterback a week ago, then Kenny Pickett was traded, and finally, both rookie quarterbacks made the team’s 53-man roster.
There may not have been much mystery left as to who the Browns’ backup quarterback would be to begin the regular season, especially with how things unfolded in the final preseason game. Nonetheless, it was one of the biggest position battles of training camp, and now, head coach Kevin Stefanski has made it official:
Rookie Dillon Gabriel, taken in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, will be first...
