Ex Browns QB Tyler Huntley Re-Signed by Ravens

Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyler Huntley has returned home to Baltimore. The ex-Raven re-signed with his former team after being released by Cleveland, who boasts a deep quarterback room. But is it deep enough?

Jameis Winston was signed this offseason to a one-year, $4 million deal to sit on the bench and anticipate another Deshaun Watson injury. Let's hope it doesn't come to that. But Winston, himself, has a slight injury history. So what happens if they both go down?

Sounds impossible, right? Nope.

Enter the Browns' 2023 season. It took five quarterbacks to make the playoff run, including Watson and Thompson-Robinson who were both injured.

Huntley was brought in to compete with Thompson-Robinson as the No. 3 quarterback. But with the performance DTR showed on the field during the preseason, Huntley was expendable.

When healthy, Watson has been one of the top quarterbacks in the league since being drafted No. 12 overall by Houston in 2017. But the operative word in that sentence is, "healthy." And the former Clemson Tiger has been anything but since arriving in Cleveland.

That makes the roles behind him even more important.

As BrownsDigest predicted back on Aug. 13 , "For Huntley, it [a poor preseason performance] could mean being cut before the final 53-man roster is announced, and maybe a return to Baltimore where both Josh Johnson and Devin Leary struggled in the preseason loss to the Eagles over the weekend."

And now, it's official. Huntley returns to Baltimore where he knows the offense and has significant experience backing up Lamar Jackson.
