The Browns don’t have anything to play for Saturday, which might be why they’re throwing anything against the wall.
Cleveland will head into M&T Bank Stadium to face a Baltimore Ravens team that needs a win to clinch the AFC North. Dorian Thompson-Robinson started for an injured Jameis Winston last week, but the second-year quarterback did not impress.
That might be why Bailey Zappe will be in consideration to start. However, head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters that not only would the former New England Patriots quarterback play but Thompson-Robinson also would feature with him.
“… You got to always be ready at that position,” Stefanski told reporters, per a team-provided video. “That’s just part of that, just dealing with uncertainty. I thought both guys handled that really well. I know you’d love to know what the exact plan is, but that’s life in the big city.”
Stefanski said he would tell the signal-callers who would get the start Thursday afternoon. Regardless, this Saturday would mark Zappe’s first game action of the season. The Patriots released the third-year QB before the season, and he signed onto the Chiefs practice squad. Kansas released him, and the 2022 fourth-round pick signed with the Browns.

Zappe and Thompson-Robinson face a daunting task as double-digit underdogs, but Saturday will be Zappe’s chance to show teams he’s worthy of being on a roster next season.
In a shocking move, the Cleveland Browns have made an unconventional decision with former New England Patriots quarterback, Cam Newton. After being released by the Patriots earlier this week, Newton was quickly picked up by the Browns, but not as a quarterback.
Instead, the Browns have announced that they will be utilizing Newton’s versatile skillset in a new position – tight end. This unexpected move has raised eyebrows across the NFL, as Newton has never played tight end before in his career.
However, the Browns are confident that Newton’s athleticism, size, and football IQ will make him a valuable asset at the tight end position. Head coach Kevin Stefanski stated, “Cam is a phenomenal athlete and we believe he has the potential to excel at tight end. We’re excited to see how he can contribute to our team in this new role.”
It remains to be seen how Newton will adjust to his new position and how he will fit into the Browns’ offensive scheme. But one thing is for sure – this unconventional decision has certainly caught the attention of football fans everywhere. Stay tuned for updates on Cam Newton’s transition to tight end with the Cleveland Browns.
