Blinksportsnews247Joe Flacco could not have a good summer due to the free agency market, which might be a touchdown for the Cleveland Browns.
This offseason, the 39-year-old Flacco will explore his options as a free agent in an attempt to secure a starting position someplace. But according to a general manager Terry Pluto of Cleveland.com talked with, Flacco won’t have clubs clamoring for his door.
Pluto claims that Flacco’s turnovers are the main problem.
“We have Joe Flacco, and he believed there would be a small market for Flacco,” Pluto said on his podcast, “Terry’s Talkin.” Turnovers are the red flag on you in modern football, despite the astounding stats. Guys who turn the ball over are not liked by them. That surprised me since I had thought we wouldn’t have a chance against Flacco. He believes they will.
Throughout the regular season, Flacco ignited the Browns’ offense with four victories from his starts, 1,616 yards passed, and thirteen touchdowns. However, turnovers were a problem. In his five appearances during the regular season, he threw eight interceptions. In a crushing 45-14 Wild Card victory over the Houston Texans, he delivered two more touchdown passes. Each one was brought back for a touchdown.
It wouldn’t be shocking if Flacco didn’t get much attention. After all, the previous season, he spent all of November on his couch until the Browns phoned. He did, however, demonstrate that he still had it, but maybe not enough to get a starting spot.
Browns Made ‘Mistake’ Banking on Deshaun Watson
Under general manager Andrew Berry, the Browns have not been afraid to spend money on a backup quarterback in the past. Two veterans who earned good wages in Cleveland as dependable backup quarterbacks were Case Keenum and Jacoby Brissett.
That was altered the previous season when rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson was named the backup by the Browns after Joshua Dobbs was traded before the season began. Unfortunately, Watson’s two shoulder injuries limited his playing time to only six games, putting the Browns in a worse-case scenario at quarterback.
In the end, the Browns used five different quarterbacks. As the starter, Watson, Thompson-Robinson, PJ Walker, Flacco, and Jeff Driskel all saw action.
Pluto remarked, “Hanging over the Browns is 12 games in three years,” implying that Watson was involved. The major error they committed the previous year was supposing Deshaun would be resilient just because he had been in the past. They didn’t even keep Dobbs because of this. They just chose to pick up PJ and went with DTR, who they loved and picked up PJ Walker up off of kind of a football rummage sale.”
Joe Flacco Open to Return to Browns
Flacco has made it known that he wants to take advantage of a free agency starting position. In the event that the former MVP of the Super Bowl doesn’t experience that, Cleveland remains a possibility.
On January 18, Flacco stated, “I’m open to being back in Cleveland, but I don’t want to rush into any decisions.” “There are so many positive things to say about the current state of this organization,”
Flacco is aware that if he were to rejoin the Browns, Watson would be his backup, and Watson should be primed to go come training camp. The Browns don’t think there would be any problems in the locker room if Flacco returned.
Berry referred to the possible “polarity” surrounding a decision to reinstate Flacco as having “zero considerations.” The way both people are, it’s not at much an internal matter.
Berry said that the club values having a backup quarterback position. It is a “top 30 position on the roster,” according to him.
