The Cleveland Browns and veteran quarterback Joe Flacco have reportedly "reached an agreement on a one-year deal," ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Thursday (December 14).
Flacco, 38, was initially signed to the Browns practice squad on November 20 following Deshaun Watson's season-ending injury and prior to being named the team's starter ahead of a Week 13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams and Week 14 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
"Joe Flacco has reached agreement on a one-year deal with Cleveland Browns. No more practice squad this season for Flacco," Schefter wrote on his X account.
Flacco has thrown for 565 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions on 49 of 89 passing in two appearances for the Browns. The 38-year-old hadn't appeared in an NFL game since January, when he threw for 149 yards on 18 of 33 passing for the New York Jets during an 11-6 loss to the Miami Dolphins in the final week of the 2022 NFL regular season, prior to signing with Cleveland last month.
Flacco is best known for his 11-year stint with the Baltimore Ravens, having been selected No. 18 overall in the 2008 NFL Draft and leading the franchise to a win in Super Bowl XLVII. The Browns are currently two games behind the first-place Ravens in the AFC North Division standings and hold the first AFC Wild Card spot with an 8-5 record with four regular season games remaining.
