Could a Joe Flacco Browns Return Be Possible?
Media outlets have reported that the Browns are in talks with former Cleveland QB Joe Flacco. They look like young players working in a factory. Check this:
Via NBC: A reunion with the Browns is Flacco’s top choice, according to league sources. He loves playing there, the team, the city, the fans, everything. The two sides met last week at the scouting combine about this possibility. Scandalous! An encounter with the Browns that no one knew anything about.
Did he call an Uber? Fans believe the team was ready to have Deshaun Watson back as the starting quarterback this year as he recovers from a shoulder injury. It was a great time with Flacco, but it won’t last for years. Flacco is currently a free agent and can sign with any team of his choice.
Yes, having a viable backup quarterback is and will continue to be important to great teams. Despite this, teams around the league were believed to be interested in Flacco as their starting quarterback. And that’s assuming Flacco just doesn’t retire. “Retirement? Hey, you’re too young to retire!!! – Apollo Creed.”
Of course, with Watson’s injury and rumored suspension, it would be great for the Browns to provide some security for the team. The first question if this deal goes through is the debate over whether Watson should still be an automatic starter or whether there should be competition between the two. So if Watson joins Flacco in the starting lineup this year, he could feel threatened. Also, if Watson didn’t feel like “the guy” because of Flacco’s return.
Flacco’s love for Watson is incredible. Bringing back the quarterback who led the Browns to the playoffs would be exciting, but it would also cause a lot of controversy and confusion. I don’t know if this is the best choice for the team. Flacco is 39 years old and still has bad memories from that playoff game. It reminds us that our guardians are human…
It will be interesting to see if other teams offer something more appealing to Flacco, and if the Browns intend to do the same or even more. The team strictly adheres to the salary cap set throughout the offseason.
Many say Mr. Watson’s trade was the worst in history. This year was supposed to be his year to make up for lost time and lead the team all the way. Even if something is achieved in these negotiations, it may not be. It’s definitely a much anticipated game here in Cleveland.
