Forty-year-old quarterback Joe Flacco will be the Week 1 starter for the Browns, 17 years after he was the Week 1 starter for the Ravens.

With two preseason games under their belt and performances from Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel on tape, the Cleveland Browns have reportedly made their decision on who will start at quarterback to begin the 2025 season.

The Cleveland Browns have officially named veteran Joe Flacco the starting quarterback on Monday prior to week one.

Flacco served as the team’s QB late in the 2023 season to lead Cleveland to its second postseason appearance under head coach Kevin Stefanski and that familiarity likely helped the 40-year-old signal-caller secure the job. In his Tuesday press conference, Stefanski said Flacco has done really well in the offseason program and training camp.
