Shedeur Sanders is banned by Joe Flacco and Dillon Gabriel who already seem like best friends inside the Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns are gearing up for a season where they hope to surprise and become a strong contender in the AFC North, though questions still linger about who will take the helm as starting quarterback. There's stiff quarterback competition among four players for the role, and despite talk of tension or division, it seems there's strong team chemistry and camaraderie within the locker room.

While Shedeur Sanders was left out of this particular moment that showcased the good vibes, Joe Flacco and Dillon Gabriel demonstrated unity and leadership with an unexpected gesture.

Joe Flacco agreed to pose with Dillon Gabriel for a photo shoot

Joe Flacco agreed to pose with Dillon Gabriel during a photo shoot that quickly became a highlight of the Cleveland Browns OTAs (Organized Team Activities).

"We are going to recreate this photo," said Gabriel, who approached Flacco with the idea. Many might have expected the veteran to decline-especially after Flacco recently told rookie QB Shedeur Sanders that he doesn't dance in public.

"All right, I'll do it," Flacco replied, surprising everyone with his enthusiasm. "All in. Love it," he added.

After striking some playful poses for the cameras, it was time to check the result. Flacco looked at the final product and said, "That's unreal."

The photo captured more than just a moment-it symbolized the connection between the present and future of the Browns' quarterback room. Though Shedeur Sanders was absent, and some media outlets may try to stir rumors of friction, the reality is that Joe Flacco has fully embraced his role as a mentor and is clearly enjoying his time with his young teammates.

Now, the big question remains: Who will be named the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns in 2025? Fans may have to wait until closer to September to get the final answer.
