Flacco told reporters he didn't necessarily see Dillon Gabriel replacing him coming at this point in the year.

“I don’t think I foresaw it,” Flacco told reporters. “Listen, I think I said it on Sunday, anytime you’re in this league, I mean, everybody’s always getting evaluated. And, the job of quarterback is to help your team win football games. So, I don’t know if I foresaw it coming.”

Whatever the case, he only mouthed silent answers to questions in the Browns locker room Wednesday about Joe Flacco being named the backup quarterback to new starter Dillon Gabriel instead of him, and refused to utter a peep.
