With less than two weeks to the NFL 2025 proposal Cleveland browns“The long -awaited Quarterback signature arrived.
Adam Schefter Espn announced on Friday morning that Browns and Joe Flacco He reached an agreement on a one -year agreement of $ 4 million, which could reach $ 13 million with incentives. This step brings FLACCO back to Cleveland, where in 2023 he won the NFL Player of the Year Award and helped to lead browns to play -offs in the middle of Quarterback’s unrest.
It could also look into the plans of the team at the top of the design, where I become a more credible Cleveland I walk around Quarterback. Schefter at the beginning of this week announced that it is more likely that Browns take Colorado two -way star Travis Hunter With selection No. 2.
During the Offseason, Browns were mum to bring stability to the Quarterback position after four different players tried to pass in 2024. Deshaun WatsonThe most of the 2025 with Achilles’ injuries is expected to be missing the lowest total QBR in the NFL than tore Achilles in October. JAMEIS WINSTONwho left this offseason as a free agent, revived the crime, but was after throwing eight seizures in three games. AND Dorian Thompson-Robinson threw zero touchdown and three wiretaps in two peas before it was mounted Bailey zappe40. Quarterback, which will start for franchise since 1999, in the final of the season.
CEO Cleveland Andrew Berry said during his January conference in January that the Quarterback room “will look different next year”. Otherwise, the team did not do much to deal with the attitude of this offseason. Cleveland traded Kenny Pickett In the first week of free shipping agency Philadelphia Eagles Fifth round selection and Thompson-Robinson. The team was hosted Russell Wilson when visiting but signed with New York Giants in March. Source with Knowledge of Agent Agent’s plans said that Browns also asked for the next veteran Quarterbacks, including Daniel JonesBut Jones decided to sign with Indianapolis Colts.
At the annual meeting of the League in Palm Beach, Florida, however, the browns of Browns Jimmy Haslam revealed that Flacco (40) remained for the team. He also said that the team understood the value of the Quarterback position, but did not set the selection with the second selection.
WITH Tennessee Titans Probably selects Miami Quarterback CAM WARD With selection No. 1 – Schefter, he informed that Titani was increasingly amazed at him – Hunter became a favorite betting to be the first selection of browns. ESPN predictor gives Hunter more than 40% chance to be a Cleveland selection. Penn State Edge Rusher Abdul Carter has more than 30% chance to be a selection while Hunter’s Teammate, Quarterback SHEN SANDERS SANDERSHe has 11% chance to be a choice.
“It would be great if we could get a” quarterback “, but we won’t force it,” Haslam said. “We’ll be patient and try to accumulate as many good football players as possible.”
Such patience could allow Cleveland Nab probably the best prospect in the Hunter proposal and use its second selection for No. 33 to get a development quarterback. In addition to meeting Ward and Sanders, which are expected to be the first round, browns also hosted Ole Miss QB Jaxson dartAlabama Jalen Milroe and Louisville’s Tyler sough This week for the 30 best visits.
There is a chance that all three could be available at selection No. 33, as Flacco back in the fold have browns veteran quarterback on the list that can believe they will make an offense. This would be an ideal scenario for an organization that understands that it could not be a newcomer to start from the 1st day, but wants to be competitive and turn away from its 3-14 goal last season. Stefanski said at the league meeting that expectations at the beginning of a newcomer would differ depending on the player.
Flacco’s Stint with Colts did not go as well as a magical run in Cleveland last season. Indianapolis went 2-4 with FLACCO as a starter and ended with 1,761 passing yards, 12 landings and 7 wiretaps. But with Browns, who, according to Jeremy Fowler ESPN, expects to return to the scheme that Coach Kevin Stefanski ran in the first four seasons before he reworked him in 2024, Flacco gives Cleveland Quarterback.
Flacco threw more than 300 yards in four direct victories-brown 4-1 in its five beginnings of the season-run ended with a loss to Houston Texans in a wild card bike.
At the league meeting, Berry would not say whether another Quarterback add -on would come before or after the proposal, but revealed that the position room would “be distorted young”. The team sees Picketta, who turns 26 years old in June, as a young player with a space for growth. Pickett, 20. Selection in design 2022, is 15-10 as starter and browns said he would get the opportunity to compete for initial work.
It will seem to compete with Flacco, which could have an inexperienced Quarterback room for one year. Another question that needs to be answered is not whether Browns take Quarterback in the design, but when.
