If you thought the Cleveland Browns' 2025 quarterback carousel was wild from the outside, just wait until you see what was happening behind closed doors.
The Browns cycled through three different starters last season—veteran Joe Flacco opened the first four games, followed by rookies Dillon Gabriel (six starts) and Shedeur Sanders (seven starts). The result? A frustrating five-win season that left fans scratching their heads and asking tough questions about the team's decision-making at the most important position in sports.
Now, some of those answers are finally coming to light. Netflix's hit series Quarterback returns for Season 3 on July 14, and two familiar faces from Cleveland's recent past will be featured: Joe Flacco and former Browns starter Baker Mayfield.
Flacco headlines a compelling four-man cast that also includes Washington Commanders star Jayden Daniels, Tennessee Titans rookie Cam Ward, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan-favorite Baker Mayfield. For Browns fans, it's a chance to see both the old guard and a former No. 1 pick navigate very different chapters of their careers.
Here's what to expect from this season's lineup:
Jayden Daniels enters year two with the Commanders looking to build on a breakout rookie campaign. Cameras will capture his dual-threat development and the pressure of becoming Washington's franchise cornerstone.
Baker Mayfield returns to the spotlight after stabilizing Tampa Bay's offense. His fiery personality and competitive edge remain front and center as he fights to keep the Bucs in playoff contention.
Cam Ward steps in as the No. 1 overall pick for the Titans—one of the league's most intriguing young arms trying to establish himself from day one.
Joe Flacco brings the drama. The Super Bowl MVP was shockingly traded midseason to the Cincinnati Bengals, embarking on an unexpected new chapter that balances his veteran wisdom with the relentless pressure of another NFL campaign.
If you've never watched Quarterback, now's the time to start. The series does a masterful job showing the grueling week-to-week preparation required to play the position at the highest level, while also highlighting the personal support systems that keep these athletes grounded off the field.
For Flacco and Mayfield, it's also a reminder that in the NFL, the story never really ends—it just changes jerseys.
