The Browns could still take that approach and not draft a quarterback, but general manager Andrew Berry made it clear Thursday that signing Flacco does not affect whether they draft a quarterback or not.

The Cleveland Browns could potentially solve their franchise quarterback woes in next week's NFL Draft with the No. 2 overall pick.

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.
