Joe Flacco is heading back to Cleveland.

The veteran NFL quarterback agreed to terms with the Browns on a one-year deal on Friday. Flacco will have a base salary of $4 million but can earn more with incentives.

He won the league’s Comeback Player of the Year award in 2023 after leading an inspiring late-season surge that carried the Browns to the playoffs for only the second time since their return in 1999. Flacco, 40, spent last season with the Colts, throwing for 12 touchdowns and seven interceptions in eight games, including a 2-4 mark as a starter. The Browns are in flux at quarterback with Deshaun Watson potentially missing the entire season as he recovers from a ruptured Achilles tendon suffered in January, just three months after he initially injured the tendon against the Bengals.

Nickel CB Jalen Pitre and the Texans agreed to a three-year, $39 million contract extension with $30 million guaranteed.
