The Cleveland Browns have signed quarterback Bailey Zappe from the Kansas City Chiefs' practice squad following the season-ending injury to Deshaun Watson. Zappe sees this as a significant opportunity to learn from head coach Kevin Stefanski, having previously worked with former Browns coaches Alex Van Pelt and T.C. McCartney at the New England Patriots.
Zappe acknowledges the changes in the offensive scheme but believes his familiarity with the system will facilitate a smooth transition. He is prepared to take on any role, including serving as the backup to newly appointed starter Jameis Winston, as they face the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday.
Having previously played in Cleveland during his time with the Patriots, Zappe recalls a memorable performance against the Browns in 2022, where he threw for 309 yards and two touchdowns. He expresses excitement about returning and contributing to the team's success.
