Who Should I Start? Joe Flacco or Jaxson Dart

Wednesday, May 7, 2:57 PM

According to Zac Jackson of The Athletic, Kenny Pickett or Joe Flacco could be traded this summer, depending on how things go with the Cleveland Browns quarterback competition during the offseason. Cleveland notably selected Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel in Round 3 and Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders in Round 5 of the 2025 NFL Draft. While Deshaun Watson (Achilles) is not likely to be a factor in 2025, the additions of the rookies create a crowded position room. Jackson noted that Pickett's has $2.63 million that his "essentially" guaranteed by Cleveland, which could suggest Flacco is more likely to be dealt. The Browns are likely looking at picking a first-round quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft, so seeing what Gabriel and Sanders can do is a top priority rather than winning a few more games with one of the established veterans.

SNY's Connor Hughes writes that rookie first-round quarterback Jaxson Dart looked comfortable, confident and in control during rookie minicamp over the weekend. Dart didn't look unsure of himself or jittery when deciding to make passes, which impressed Hughes. The Ole Miss product has a unique throwing motion, but that doesn't mean he's lacking in arm talent. Most of his passes at minicamp were within 15 yards of the line of scrimmage and they were impressive fastballs. Dart had two good days in a row in minicamp, which is good, but it should be taken with a grain of salt this early in the offseason. The 21-year-old is hoping to become New York's next franchise signal-caller, but after the Giants added both Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in free agency this offseason, Dart is fully expected to sit and learn in his rookie season in 2025.
