Browns Get Bad News on Re-Signing QB Joe Flacco

If the Cleveland Browns want to bring back Joe Flacco next season, they’ll have to fend off some competition.

Flacco is set to hit free agency after a successful stint with the Browns. Flacco was signed by the Browns on November 20 and went 4-1 in his regular season starts.

He passed for 1,616 yards and 13 touchdowns. Flacco, who recently turned 39 years old, proved he has more left in the tank and other teams are taking notice.

Among the teams expected to show interest in Flacco are the New England Patriots, per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. Former Browns offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt is now in the same position with the Patriots and has a relationship with Flacco.
