The Cleveland Browns have officially named Joe Flacco their starting quarterback for the 2025 season. Flacco will lead the team into the regular season at home against the Bengals on September 7. The announcement comes after a successful training camp and preseason, where Flacco consistently took reps with the first team and demonstrated his veteran leadership.
Flacco is entering his 18th NFL season and brings valuable experience to the position. During his tenure with the Browns in 2023, he led the team to a 4-1 record and helped secure their playoff berth. The Browns signed Flacco in April 2025 to add his expertise and familiarity to the quarterback room.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski praised Flacco’s approach to the game, stating that he is “the same guy every single day.” Stefanski highlighted Flacco’s ability to provide leadership not only to the quarterback room but also to the entire team. With Flacco at the helm, the Browns are poised for a successful 2025 season.
