Browns Quarterback Joe Flacco has confirmed his intention to continue playing in the NFL next season, as reported by Rob Maaddi of The Associated Press. The 39-year-old, who was a finalist for the AP Comeback Player of the Year, is open to returning but emphasized that his decision will depend on the offers he receives.
Flacco began the season without a team but showcased his skills with the Cleveland Browns, finishing the regular season with a 4-1 record in his starts and contributing significantly to the team’s playoff berth. However, his postseason performance was marred by two crucial interceptions in a Wild Card loss to the Houston Texans.
Despite the playoff setback, Flacco demonstrated that he still has value as a player. Browns General Manager Andrew Berry expressed interest in bringing him back, acknowledging his positive impact on the team. While the Browns have Deshaun Watson as their primary quarterback for the upcoming season, they are open to retaining Flacco as the second option on the depth chart.
Flacco, who became a fan favorite in Cleveland, is appreciative of his time with the organization and has not ruled out returning in a backup role. He praised the team’s management and the camaraderie among his teammates, indicating a positive experience during his tenure with the Browns.
As Flacco contemplates his future, the decision to return to Cleveland or explore other options will hinge on the offers he receives from interested teams.
