Who will be the quarterback of the future for the Cleveland Browns? This question remains, but for now, the franchise has reached into its past to secure a quarterback of the present. The Browns agreed to terms with Joe Flacco on Friday, reuniting the QB with the team he guided to the NFL playoffs in the 2023 season.
Flacco, who turned 40 in January, was the NFL’s second-oldest quarterback last season, trailing only Aaron Rodgers, who turned 41 in December. Flacco spent the year with the Indianapolis Colts, where he was brought in to both mentor and push second-year player Anthony Richardson, a player 17 years his junior. Flacco ended up playing in eight games, starting six, and compiling a 2–4 record. He had 12 passing touchdowns, versus seven interceptions, and completed 65.3 percent of his attempts.
