Former New England Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe will get the start for the Cleveland Browns on Saturday when they take on the Baltimore Ravens in the Week 18 season finale. Zappe was signed from the Kansas City Chiefs’ practice squad to the Browns’ active roster back in October. He has yet to make his debut with the Browns.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler analyzed the Browns’ disappointing 2024 season and their plans for 2025, particularly at the quarterback position. This makes a ton of sense as the team is set to start Bailey Zappe, their fourth different quarterback for two years in a row, against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18.

Bailey Zappe will be quarterback No. 4 and No. 40 for the Browns. He was chosen by coach Kevin Stefanski to start Saturday’s season finale at Baltimore, making him the fourth quarterback to start this season and the 40th since Cleveland returned to the NFL as an expansion team in 1999.
