Welcome to the Ringer NFL show. I'm Shield Capadia. We had a quarterback trade in the NFL on Tuesday. The Bengals acquired Joe Flacco and a sixth round pick from the Browns in exchange for a fifth rounder. So essentially a day three pick swap for Flacco. Now the Bengals have looked like maybe the worst team in the NFL since Joe Burrow went down, getting blown out in their last three games.

They thought they had a backup quarterback and Jake Browning, but he's been terrible.

So now they're throwing a Hail Mary, hoping that Flacco can provide an upgrade.

Meanwhile, in Cleveland, the Browns handed the keys to Dylan Gabriel and have fellow rookie Shador Sanders backing him up.

So what does this trade mean for each franchise, both in the short term and the long term?

And how will the rest of the season play out in the AFC North?

To answer those questions and more, I will be joined by the ringers, Stephen Ruiz.

We'll break it all down right after the break.
