BREAKING NEWS:Joe Flacco Has No Interest in Playing for the Cleveland Browns as Shedeur Sanders’ Team Gains Attention
Joe flacco has no interest in playing for the claveland Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco has made it clear that he has no interest in returning to the Cleveland Browns, even as Shedeur Sanders’ team continues to gain traction in NFL discussions. Flacco, who played a pivotal role in Cleveland’s 2023 playoff push, seems to be eyeing different opportunities as the 2025 NFL season approaches.
Flacco, 40, joined the Browns mid-season in 2023 after the team faced a slew of injuries at quarterback. His surprising success—including leading the Browns to key wins and a playoff berth—sparked discussions about a possible return. However, sources close to the situation suggest Flacco is looking for a situation where he can play a mentoring role on his terms or potentially compete for a starting job, not necessarily in Cleveland.Meanwhile, Shedeur Sanders, son of Hall of Famer and Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders, is preparing for what many expect to be his final college season before declaring for the NFL Draft. Though not yet officially part of an NFL team, the buzz around Shedeur has grown so significantly that media outlets and fans are already speculating about his future landing spot—and the kind of support he’ll need at the next level.
With teams reportedly interested in grooming veteran quarterbacks to mentor young stars like Sanders, the connection between Flacco and a rookie-led team has sparked speculation. However, Flacco has shown no indication of wanting to join a rebuilding franchise, especially one like Cleveland that may soon be focused on youth development.
While Shedeur Sanders continues to draw national attention with his talent and charisma, Joe Flacco seems focused on finding a team that matches his competitive drive and veteran savvy. For now, that team won’t be the Cleveland Browns.
