The Browns and Bengals made a trade on Tuesday, sending Joe Flacco to Cincinnati. But eight years ago, the teams very nearly made another trade involving a quarterback. However, it fell apart at the very last minute.

In the meantime, the Browns can either maximize their information gathering on rookie QBs Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, or they can keep watching Flacco struggle to move around the pocket while throwing interceptions straight to the other team.

The last rookie to do that two games in a row for the Browns was Nick Chubb in 2018, according to ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi. Chubb is the best running back in the modern era of the Browns, so for Judkins to be keeping that company is a great sign.

Turner has operated in Northeast Ohio for more than a century, with projects that include renovations to the Browns’ current home and Columbus Crew’s Lower.com Field. AECOM Hunt, meanwhile, built Progressive Field for the Guardians and was part of the team behind the Browns’ lakefront stadium when it opened in 1999.

Dillon Gabriel became the 41st man to start a game under center for the Cleveland Browns since 1999 in Sunday’s close defeat to the Minnesota Vikings in London. To put that number into
