Joe Flacco is back in Cleveland.
The minimum deal is $4 million. The maximum deal is $13 million. The more likely outcome lands in between those two extremes.
Per a source with knowledge of the terms, Flacco will make $6 million if he’s the 2025 starter and if the Browns don’t make it to the postseason. If he’s the starter and the Browns do make it to the postseason, he’ll make $8 million.
To get to $13 million, certain unrealistic things new to happen. Including, most unrealistically, Flacco must be named the All-Pro quarterback.
Flacco was never the All-Pro quarterback, even when he won Super Bowl MVP.
