Veteran free agent quarterback Joe Flacco has reached an agreement with the Cleveland Browns on a one-year, $4 million deal, which can be worth up to $13 million with incentives, his agent, Joe Linta, confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter Friday (April 11) morning.
Flacco, who spent the 2024 season with the Indianapolis Colts, will return to the Browns, having previously led the franchise to its last playoff appearance during a season that saw him win the 2023 NFL Comeback Player of the Year award. The former Super Bowl champion also reportedly spoke with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings prior to his decision.
