Joe Flacco was never pushed in Browns' QB competition despite Shedeur Sanders buzz, per report

The Cleveland Browns have named Joe Flacco as their starting quarterback for the upcoming season, despite the buzz surrounding Shedeur Sanders, the son of legendary NFL player Deion Sanders. According to reports, Flacco was never seriously challenged for the starting job during the team's quarterback competition. The Browns made the decision to go with the veteran Flacco, who has extensive experience in the NFL, over the younger and less proven Sanders. The move comes as a surprise to some, as Sanders had generated significant interest and speculation during the offseason. However, the Browns' coaching staff apparently felt that Flacco's established skills and leadership were more valuable for the team at this stage. The decision means that Sanders will likely serve as a backup or developmental player for the Browns this season, as he continues to work on his skills and adapt to the NFL level of play.
