Joe Flacco’s remarkable and entirely unforeseen tenure in Cleveland concluded with a decisive defeat in the postseason. 

The Browns attained a postseason level they likely wouldn’t have reached without Flacco’s contributions. 

The outcome held less significance than the journey itself for Flacco and the Browns. Nonetheless, it was an experience cherished by everyone in Northeast Ohio, albeit with the awareness that it had an expiration date. 

This was not the dawn of a new era with a franchise cornerstone, but rather a fleeting moment of joy amidst considerable adversity that would challenge most professional sports teams.

Despite this, the reigning AP NFL Comeback Player of the Year may find himself back in the embrace of Browns fans in 2024. 

However, he must come to terms with the reality that the starting position belongs to Deshaun Watson, whom Flacco temporarily replaced during the 2023 season out of necessity.

Joe Flacco’s Role as Valued Veteran Backup with Browns

HOUSTON, TEXAS – JANUARY 13: Joe Flacco #15 of the Cleveland Browns celebrates after the team scored a touchdown during an AFC wild-card playoff football game against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium on January 13, 2024 in Houston, Texas.

All indications suggest that Cleveland intends to continue with the Watson experience in 2024, contingent upon his physical readiness to perform. 

General Manager Andrew Berry and Coach Kevin Stefanski expressed optimism regarding Watson’s prospects during their discussions at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis last week, leaving little room for doubt.

Should Flacco opt to rejoin the Browns, it would be in the capacity of a highly valued veteran backup. 

In such a scenario, there would be no competition for the starting position during training camp, and Flacco would only see playing time if Watson encountered another injury or performed below expectations, necessitating his replacement with the quarterback who previously excelled under Stefanski’s guidance.

These pivotal considerations will weigh heavily on Flacco as he evaluates his options in the market and decides on his destination for the 2024 season. Nonetheless, it presents an advantageous position for Flacco, considering that just a year ago, he garnered no interest from NFL teams.
