Bengals Agree to 1-Year Deal with Backup Quarterback Joe Flacco
Joe Flacco, 41, signed a $6 million one-year contract with the Bengals to solidify quarterback depth after Joe Burrow's injury last season, team officials said.
- On Tuesday, veteran quarterback Joe Flacco agreed to a one-year deal to return to the Cincinnati Bengals as backup to Joe Burrow. The contract is worth $6 million with up to $3 million available in incentives.
- Cincinnati prioritized Flacco's return to provide veteran depth behind Burrow, as injuries to the starter and others in recent years prompted the team to address the quarterback position.
- During his nine appearances last season, Flacco completed 61.7% of his passes for 1,664 yards, 13 touchdowns, and four interceptions. The performance earned him his first Pro Bowl Games appearance in his 18-year career.
- Flacco will slide in as the primary backup behind Burrow. The team also signed 39-year-old veteran Josh Johnson this month, adding depth to a quarterback room that has faced recurring injury challenges.
- Entering his 19th NFL season, Flacco is not viewed as the long-term solution for the Bengals. Instead, the team values his ability to provide stability and effective spot-starting if needed during the upcoming campaign.
