None of that paints an ideal picture for the few people hoping Flacco can be the Browns' savior, but even a halfway competent offense would make the team a legitimate player in the postseason race. He remained a free agent this season until the Browns picked him up. He landed with the Denver Broncos via trade the next season, but sustained a season-ending neck injury midway through the season and was eventually released.įlacco spent the next three years as a backup for the Jets, the Philadelphia Eagles, then the Jets again, seeing nine starts along the way with 2,253 passing yards, 14 touchdowns, six interceptions and an 81.5 passer rating.
Flacco spent nearly a decade as the Ravens' full-time starter, but has struggled to find a consistent starting job since a hip injury opened the door for Lamar Jackson to take over in 2018.
