Bengals Strengthen QB Group with Flacco, Johnson

0:00On March 25th, the Cincinnati Bengals signed veteran quarterback Joe Flacco to a one-year contract this week. He's coming back as the backup to Joe Burrell after stepping in for six starts last season. In those games, Flacco threw for a 1,664 yards, 13 touchdowns, and just four interceptions. The team picks him up mid-season, and he quickly clicked with star receivers, T Higgins, and Jamar Chase. Now entering his 19 season, Flacco brings plenty of experience from a long career that includes a Super Bowl win. Higgins showed his excitement right away on social media with a simple shout-out to the veteran. Players appreciated how Flacco built strong bonds, even personalizing a jersey for Chase, and praising his potential as one of the all-time great, receivers. The Bengals also brought in Josh Johnson earlier this month, creating what many call the strongest quarterback group in the league. Burrell leads as an elite starter when healthy, backed by two-season pros from the 2008 draft class who have stuck around through thick and thin.
