On Tuesday, the Cleveland Browns made the surprising move of trading Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals. While Flacco had been benched by Cleveland, the move is still a big one, because he’s going to another AFC North team, and it leaves the Browns with just two rookie quarterbacks on the active roster. Those quarterbacks are Dillon Gabriel, who’s coming off his first start, and Shedeur Sanders, who will now be QB2 for the Browns — barring any other moves.
Sanders' father, Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, was asked about the Flacco trade. As the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes football team, the elder Sanders had his weekly press conference shortly after the news was announced.
