That’s because Flacco, despite spending the last three weeks on the practice squad, never thought he was heading anywhere else.

“I wouldn’t have went, though, anyway,” Flacco said Thursday. “It’s been great here.”

The deal, per a league source, includes $4.05 million worth of incentives. That includes a $75,000 bonus for each win he picks up over the Browns’ final four regular-season games.

The Browns (8-5) are currently the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoff standings. Should the team qualify for the playoffs, Flacco would make $250,000 for winning a wild-card game, $500,000 for winning a divisional-round game, $1 million for winning the AFC championship and $2 million for winning a Super Bowl.
