Joe Flacco Joins Browns as Potential Starting Quarterback

Flacco's signing provides insurance for Browns after loss of Deshaun Watson, with rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson currently starting.

  • Joe Flacco, a 38-year-old former Baltimore Ravens quarterback, has been signed to the Cleveland Browns' practice squad and may soon become their starting quarterback.
  • Flacco's signing comes as an insurance policy for the Browns after their starting quarterback, Deshaun Watson, was lost for the season due to a fractured right shoulder.
  • Rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson is currently starting for the Browns, but if he stumbles, Flacco, a Super Bowl MVP who has thrown for 42,320 yards and 232 touchdowns in his career, is ready to take over.
  • Flacco, who has not been on a team all season, believes he still has 'stuff left in the tank' and has been staying in shape while waiting for a team to show interest.
  • The Browns are also counting on Flacco to mentor Thompson-Robinson, who has expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity to work with Flacco.
