Browns sign QB Bailey Zappe to practice squad as insurance policy behind Dillon Gabriel, Shedeur Sanders

The Cleveland Browns have signed quarterback Bailey Zappe to their practice squad, providing insurance behind their current quarterbacks, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. This move comes after the Browns traded Kenny Pickett to the Las Vegas Raiders. Zappe, who was previously with the New England Patriots, will now have the opportunity to develop and potentially be called upon if needed by the Browns. The decision to add Zappe to the practice squad suggests the team wants to have a seasoned backup in place, given the uncertainty surrounding Gabriel and Sanders' roles. The Browns' quarterback situation has been in flux, and this latest move is an attempt to stabilize the position and ensure the team has depth at the crucial position. While Gabriel and Sanders are expected to lead the charge, the addition of Zappe provides the Browns with an experienced option should they need to turn to him during the upcoming season.
