The former Super Bowl winner played five games for the Browns to end the 2023 season after injuries sidelined four other signal callers. Flacco posted a 4-1 record and led the Browns to an unlikely postseason berth. Cleveland got dismantled in a Wild Card loss to the upstart Houston Texans, but never mind that right now.

Flacco signed his one-year contract on Tuesday as the Browns began offseason workouts. The 40-year old signal caller won the AP NFL Comeback Player of the Year award in 2023 after going 4-1 as a starter with the Browns and averaging more than 300 passing yards per game as Cleveland made the playoffs for only the third time since its return in 1999.
