Kevin Stefanski Reveals Why Browns Chose Jameis Winston Over Joe Flacco
Kevin Stefanski Reveals Why Browns Chose Jameis Winston Over Joe Flacco (factoryofsadness.co)
Flacco and Winston basically signed for similar one-year deals around $4-5 million in free agency. So, the Browns' decision was certainly not financial-related. Flacco will likely not start in Indianapolis either as they have promising youngster Anthony Richardson at the helm there. So, role and playing time wasn't a reason, either.
For Stefanski, it was solely about Winston's talent and fit. Calling him a "talented, talented football player", Stefanski couldn't contain his excitement about integrating Winston into the offense.
That doesn't mean, however, that coach had anything but glowing things to say about Joe Flacco.
