JUST IN: Browns adjust quarterback Joe Flacco’s contract due to lastest development

Few could have predicted how far quarterback Joe Flacco and the Cleveland Browns would have gone together when Flacco was added to the practice squad. Flacco was brought in a couple days prior to Thanksgiving to support PJ Walker and recently installed starter Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

Fast-forward to mid-December, when the Browns and Flacco reached an agreement on an active roster contract, and by late December, the team had secured a postseason berth.

The team had to make an intriguing $75K decision due to a portion of Flacco’s contract. Flacco received that amount each time the quarterback began and the team prevailed. The Browns are sitting veterans in Week 18 out of a desire to protect the veterans.

Flacco cannot, therefore, get the $75,000 incentive.

Ultimately, the $75K is not significant for the team or Flacco (who made over $150 million in the NFL). Players (on the Browns and pending free agents) will notice if a veteran is acknowledged and cared for, both monetarily and through relaxation.
