In a surprising move, the Cincinnati Bengals have traded for veteran quarterback Joe Flacco from the Cleveland Browns. The decision comes following a series of losses without star QB Joe Burrow, prompting the Bengals to seek immediate reinforcement. Flacco is set to start against the Green Bay Packers in Week 6. This trade has also sparked discussions around the implications for both teams; Browns coach Kevin Stefanski expressed that the deal was unexpected, while commentators weigh in on the ripple effects, including Shedeur Sanders potentially moving up the depth chart. Analysts are assessing the winners and losers of the trade, as the Bengals hope Flacco can help stabilize their season.
