The news of Joe Flacco signing with the Cleveland Browns wasn't too surprising. It's a reunion that's high on comfort, after Flacco won NFL Comeback Player of the Year two years ago in Cleveland, and low on upside.
It also doesn't move the needle much for the 2025 Browns. In a perfect world Flacco replicates what he did two seasons ago, but that becomes less likely at 40 years old.
But it does offer clues about the other quarterback moves around the NFL.
The Browns had always been a reasonable landing place for Kirk Cousins in a possible trade, or a team that could make moves to draft a quarterback on day one.
