The Browns and QB Joe Flacco agreed to a one-year, $4 million deal, his agent tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. Flacco can earn as much as $13 million with incentives. Flacco returns to Cleveland, where he won Comeback Player of the Year in 2023. He averaged 323 yards across five games that year, tossing 13 TDs vs. eight INTs in a pass-heavy attack. Flacco made six starts with seven total appearances for the Colts last season, averaging 7.1 yards per attempt with 12 TDs and seven INTs. He turned 40 in January.
Flacco still has enough arm strength to hold his own as a spot starter. But he's a below-average short-term solution and obviously has no long-term appeal.
joins Kenny Pickett and an injured Deshaun Watson in the league's least inspiring QB room. There isn't a long-term solution in the group, but the Browns might be willing to punt on the position until 2026. It doesn't sound like they're interested in Shedeur Sanders with the second overall pick of this month's draft.
We'll see if the team makes any other moves at QB, but the situation is getting more and more worrisome for WR Jerry Jeudy, TE David Njoku, and the rest of Cleveland's skill-position players.
