Bailey Zappe has landed back on Cleveland’s active roster. After getting suddenly waived by the Browns yesterday, the quarterback has re-signed with the squad, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston.
Zappe has spent more than a month in Cleveland, with the Browns plucking him from the Chiefs’ practice squad following Deshaun Watson‘s season-ending injury. Jameis Winston has since run with the starting gig, leaving Zappe on the sideline.
The former fourth-round pick showed some flashes during his two seasons in New England. Zappe went 4-4 as a starter while completing 63.2 percent of his passes for 2,053 yards, 11 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. The Western Kentucky product got a longer look as a sophomore and saw his completion percentage drop and his interception percentage rise.
With the Patriots adding three QBs this past offseason (Drake Maye, Jacoby Brissett, Joe Milton), Zappe was the odd man out. He was waived by New England during final roster cuts, and he subsequently landed in a solid situation on Kansas City’s practice squad.
Zappe will be hard pressed to earn his ninth career start in Cleveland. If Winston somehow needs to be replaced, the Browns would likely opt for Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center.
