Joe Flacco's return to the Cleveland Browns is noteworthy, but Kenny Pickett, another quarterback addition this offseason, aims to claim the starting spot. Pickett expressed his determination during a recent interview, emphasizing a competitive spirit for the role. Despite Flacco's successful past with the Browns, particularly in leading them to the playoffs in 2023, Pickett remains focused on establishing himself as the team's leading quarterback.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski has shown confidence in Pickett, a former first-round draft pick from the Pittsburgh Steelers. The possibility of adding a rookie quarterback in the upcoming draft, as hinted by the team owner, adds an intriguing layer to the competition for the quarterback position going into 2025.
