Bengals Sign Flacco for Backup Role

0:00It's March 24th. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI tracking teams, players, and standings. The Cincinnati Bengals have signed veteran quarterback Joe Flacco to a one-year deal worth $9 million to serve as a reliable backup for Joe. Burrow. Flacco joins the team after starting six games for the Cleveland Browns last season, where he threw for 1,644 yards, 13 touchdowns, and just four interceptions. Even with a 1-5 record in those starts, his offense consistently put up at least 26 points per game, proving he can step in. Effectively when needed, fans and analysts see this as a bargain for a proven backup, especially since the Bengals are hoping Burrow stays healthy, and Flacco never sees the field. Now with a full offseason to mesh with the team, Flacco brings the ability to the AFC North squad as they gear up for the challenges ahead.
