After Workout With Browns, Is Joe Flacco Signing With Cleveland?
The Super Bowl champion was reported to be in Cleveland for a workout on Friday as the Browns look to bolster their quarterback room
In the aftermath of Deshaun Watson suffering a season-ending shoulder injury, the Cleveland Browns are looking to add a third quarterback to their roster.
On Friday, multiple reports revealed they were working out former Ravens signal caller, Joe Flacco – something head coach Kevin Stefanski would not comment on. Now reports say Flacco has left Cleveland without a deal.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reveals that the two sides did not come to an agreement after the veteran’s workout in Berea. However, that doesn’t mean a deal won’t get done as Fowler notes it simply could be a logistical hurdle preventing Cleveland from adding Flacco. That said, the Super Bowl champion won’t be part of the Browns plans for Sunday’s matchup with Pittsburgh.
Without Watson, Cleveland plans to start rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson against their division rival. General manager Andrew Berry made it clear this week that the team would be adding a third quarterback at some point based on their philosophy on the position. Following the Steelers game, the Browns brass could certainly reassess their interest in Flacco and come to an agreement early next week.
