Okay, Cleveland being Cleveland...
The Browns have traded Joe Flacco from their bench to the Bengals. Cincinnati released quarterback Brett Rypien. Bengals swap away a 5th round draft pick for a 6th-round draft pick.
The Bengals are 2-3, and will go on the road to meet (and beat) the Packers on the 12th. After that, Steelers, Jets, Bears, before their bye week, and they’ll need to win two of those to wind up to have a week off above .500 (not impossible).
The Browns will have rookie Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders at 1 and 2. Bailey Zappe (practice squad) may wind up in the QB room. Deshaun Watson continues to draw that absurd guaranteed money as he supposedly recuperates.
What a fiasco.
