CINCINNATI — The Cleveland Browns are signing veteran quarterback Joe Flacco to a one-year, $4 million contract that could be worth up to $13 million according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
That could mean Cleveland will pass on a quarterback with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
They traded for Kenny Pickett and signed Joe Flacco. Will they take Colorado star Travis Hunter or pass rusher Abdul Carter?
It also means that Shedeur Sanders could fall out of the top five in the draft. He recently visited the Steelers. What if he makes it to Pittsburgh's pick at No. 21 overall?
Would the Bengals trade down from No. 17 to No. 21 if the Steelers were moving up for a quarterback?
Flacco's return to Cleveland makes some sense after he helped them reach the playoffs in 2023, but the ripple effect it could have on the rest of the division is intriguing.
QB intrigue: In the last month, the Browns — who hold the No. 2 pick — have added Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco, while the Giants — picking at No. 3 — have brought in Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. https://t.co/FsI1qMvVY4
