Browns Re-Sign Joe Flacco to One-Year Deal Worth Up to $13M

The veteran quarterback returns to Cleveland, bringing experience and potential draft strategy implications as the team navigates quarterback uncertainties.

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.
