Change Team:
This page lists all the 2025 NFL Signings for the Cleveland Browns. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the Signings. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the Signings, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL Signings here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

April 2025 – Signings
Browns sign QB Joe Flacco (1 year, $4 million): B Grade
signed on 4/11/2025
This move would have made so much sense last spring. Joe Flacco was terrific down the stretch for Cleveland in 2023, leading the team into the playoffs. Flacco, however, regressed last season in Indianapolis. He was so bad that the Colts went back to a lethargic Anthony Richardson, who was also benched. Flacco, now 40, doesn’t have anything left to offer on the playing field.
The one positive with this signing is that Flacco will give the Browns a seasoned veteran in the quarterback room to mentor Kenny Pickett and whomever the front office drafts at the position in a couple of weeks. Outside of that, this signing doesn’t make much sense, but it’s not like the Browns are taking on a big risk with it.

March 2025 – Signings
Browns sign G Teven Jenkins (1 year, $3 million): A+ Grade
signed on 3/20/2025
This is an incredibly confusing signing. In fact, it should be both an A+ and an “F” at the same time.
This signing is an A+ for the Browns. When they signed Teven Jenkins, I was confused about how they would utilize him because they’re set at guard. I just assumed Jenkins would sign for a deal worth $8 million per year or more, so I wondered why they spent so much money on him. Well, Jenkins didn’t even get half of that. The Browns ended up with a great, incredibly cheap value piece.
Jenkins and his agent deserve an “F” for this signing. Jenkins was the best interior lineman on the market, so he should have been able to sign as a starter for much more than this. Jenkins needs to find himself some new representation.
