Overview

  • Joe Flacco has signed a one-year contract with the Cleveland Browns, featuring a $4 million base salary and incentives that could reach $13 million.
  • Flacco, 40, re-joins the Browns after a season with the Colts, where he started six games, following a strong 2023 playoff run with Cleveland.
  • The signing addresses the Browns' quarterback depth, with Deshaun Watson sidelined by injury and Kenny Pickett also competing for the starting role.
  • Speculation grows that Cleveland may prioritize non-quarterback prospects, such as Travis Hunter, with the No. 2 overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
  • Flacco’s return provides a short-term solution while allowing the Browns flexibility to develop a rookie quarterback or explore other roster needs.
