Joe Flacco, the MVP of the Ravens’ Super Bowl, is reportedly joining the Browns.

Joe Flacco, a former quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens who won a Super Bowl, is joining the Cleveland Browns, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Flacco allegedly had a visit with the organization and will sign with the practice squad, presumably with the intention of being added to the active roster. Deshaun Watson, the starting quarterback, suffered a season-ending fracture to his throwing shoulder. Flacco now plays for the Browns.

According quarterback Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, Flacco will coach youngster Dorian Thompson-Robinson in what looks to be a backup capacity.

Thompson-Robinson started Sunday in Cleveland’s 13-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He completed 24 of 43 pass attempts for 165 yards (3.8 yards per attempt) with no touchdowns and an interception. The Browns won despite a poor offensive outing to improve to 7-3 and remain in the hunt for the AFC North title. The 8-3 Ravens lead the division by a half game.

Flacco, 38, played 11 seasons with the Ravens before a one-year stint with the Denver Broncos and three seasons with the New York Jets. He quarterbacked the Ravens to a Super Bowl championship over the San Francisco 49ers following the 2012 season and earned Super Bowl MVP honors in the 34-31 win. He started four games for the Jets last season as a fill-in last and last played in an 11-6 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 17
