Joe Flacco signs 1-year deal with Browns, has incentives for wins.   😐

BEREA, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns signed quarterback Joe Flacco to a one-year deal Thursday, ending his tenure on the practice squad.

●-> Flacco's deal includes $4.05 million in incentives based on winning, a source familiar with the deal told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

●--> Flacco is set to make $75,000 for each of the remaining four regular-season games he wins this season, per the source. If Cleveland makes the postseason, Flacco would also make $250,000 for a wild-card win, $500,000 for a divisional round win, $1 million for an AFC Championship Game win and $2 million for a Super Bowl win, the source said.

The Browns (8-5) currently are all alone as the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoff picture.

Flacco has started the past two games for the Browns. He became just the fifth quarterback in NFL history to throw five touchdown passes in his first two games with a new team, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.

▪︎-> Sunday, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Flacco would remain the team's starting quarterback for the rest of the season.

Flacco is the fourth quarterback to start for Cleveland this year, joining Deshaun Watson, PJ Walker and rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson. The Browns signed Flacco in late November following the season-ending shoulder injury to Watson.

▪︎-->  Flacco's deal expires after this season, when he will be a free agent again. Flacco said Thursday he wants to continue playing after this season but is focused on Sunday's upcoming game against the Chicago Bears.

Flacco, 38, didn't have an offer to play this season until the Browns called him. Because of that, the former Super Bowl MVP with the Baltimore Ravens said this week it's "unbelievable" to be playing again.

◆  "I'm just trying to stay in the moment," he said, "and be as grateful as possible and keep getting better."

- Or -  * For the SB 58  MVP   and get the Key to the city of Cleveland and an old 2015 F150 pick up truck.

There’s a lot of teams mad at themselves for not going after Flacco. They’ll be even madder if he does something crazy like starts winning playoff games. The Vikings are probably the most striking example of a playoff caliber team that needed a Flacco. Instead, they got a Dobbs

Cleveland fans should just enjoy the ride, it’s my favorite season since 99’ who cares about the QB next year.

If Flacco does somehow manage to make the Super Bowl, then who cares if the browns make Watson the highest paid QB2 of all time next year - and if they don’t retain Flacco, it’s not like Watson is bad (he’s just hated as a person). 

I don’t think the Steelers go after any free agent QBs, it seems like it’s against their philosophy or something.

But I believe they (the Steelers) did pick up our own Mentor High School Mitch Trubisky as a free agent. 🙂 He's probably played himself off of their roster, as he only has a $4 million cap hit next year.

Lets all just enjoy what is going on right now with Joseph Vincent Flacco.

He's 39 years old. The Steelers aren't signing him to be their starting QB, in fact, I feel pretty confident he will not be given a starting job next year.. (he might start some games, mind you, but I just can't see a team saying "He's our #1!" in August.)

Oh  yes !  Yet another  reason to watch our   2024-2025  Cleveland BROWNS !    ◆  This is going to be one   "heck of an exciting off-season"   coming up too.  ◆    No matter what.

GO BROWNS !

Everybody loves Flacco now but there is a potential nightmare scenario that I keep thinking about. Flacco nearly takes us to a Super Bowl and the next year, a certain team that could be potentially one QB away from going to the Super Bowl scoops him up. This team has a similar name to that of feces, it's the Stoolers I'm talking about of course. I was on a Stoolers board recently and saw them mention that they were pissed that they themselves didn't think about going after Flacco. Nightmare scenario is that he nearly misses a Super Bowl win here and go there and delivers another one to them on a silver platter. Can't imagine they would be happy with Mason Rudolph moving forward. And if Tomin doesn't pursuit him, he may be out on the streets next year if they miss the playoffs althogether.

That's correct bb.... Checking his contract on Spotrac, we're basically stuck with him for the 2024 and 2025 seasons his dead cap hit is prohibitive. In 2026, it would only cost us $73 million to cut him.  

Of course I'd love to bring back Joe as a security blanket if Watson gets hurt again, but would he be interested in being DW's backup? Should the Browns make a deep playoff run he's going to be (ala Aaron Rodgers) one blazing hot free agent QB for a team thinking they're only a QB away from a Super Bowl win.

When Joe Flacco signed with the Browns this season, he signed an incentive-laden contract that would pay him more the better he and the team did. It’s fair to say he has exceeded expectations.

So to reward him for that, the Browns have decided to go ahead pay Flacco a $75,000 bonus that he won’t be able to earn on Sunday because he is sitting out with the Browns having already clinched their playoff spot.

According to Field Yates of ESPN, Flacco’s deal includes a $75,000 incentive for each game he plays at least 50 percent of the Browns’ offensive snaps and the Browns win. Flacco will rest in Sunday’s regular-season finale to be healthy for the playoffs, but the Browns converted that incentive to a $75,000 roster bonus for being on the 53-player roster. So Flacco gets the money, even though he won’t play and regardless of whether the Browns win.

It’s a nice gesture from the Browns for a player who has rescued their season by showing up off the couch and playing at a far higher level than anyone could have expected

"It’s a nice gesture from the Browns" ...... really ?   If the BROWNS did NOT do it it would have been the biggest  PR mistake  of this century !   Besides the comeback story of this season and all of the other stuff ..... like  another  playoff game and the revenues from that.         Briefly it was a  "no brainer" !      🙂

Class team Cleveland Browns !

Browns QB Joe Flacco's deal includes a $75K incentive for each game he plays 50% of the snaps and the team wins.
With Flacco resting tomorrow, the team converted that incentive to a $75K bonus for being on the 53-man roster to ensure he gets the money.
Nice touch by Cleveland.
 
In the big picture, for both the team and Flacco (who earned over $150 million in the NFL), the $75K is not a big deal.
Making sure a veteran is respected and taken care of, both financially and through rest, is something that players (on the Browns and pending free agents) will notice.
 
 

The Haslams may be questionable business people (what billionaire isn’t), but they are the furthest thing from cheap when it comes to spending money on the browns. They might be the highest spending owners in the NFL. Obviously when the dumb headlines came out about Flacco not getting his bonus they had no problem making sure he’d get the $75k
