NFL season is shaping up to be a pivotal one for the Cleveland Browns, largely thanks to the return of veteran quarterback Joe Flacco. After a remarkable run in 2023—where he led the team to the playoffs with a 4-1 record as a starter—Flacco was honored as the NFL Comeback Player of the Year.

The 40-year-old Flacco played for Cleveland during the 2023 season and helped lead it to the playoffs by going 4-1 as a starter down the stretch. While the Browns were blown out by the Houston Texans when they reached the postseason, it was still an impressive run for Flacco considering he wasn't even on the team at the start of the year.

The Browns added veteran quarterback Joe Flacco a week ago, which GM Andrew Berry said signifies competition in the room, but not draft plans.
