Flacco Returns to Bengals, Frustrated with Other Teams

0:00On March 25, the Cincinnati Bengals brought back veteran quarterback Joe Flacco on a smart deal worth up to $9 million. Last season, he stepped in after Joe Burrows early injury and provided steady relief, going 1 and 5 as a starter. Flacco threw for 1,664 yards, 13 touchdowns, and just 4 interceptions while completing 61.7. Percent of his passes. At 41 years old, he even earned a pro-bowl nod for his mid-season work. Flacco was thrilled to return to Cincinnati, but made it clear he's frustrated with other teams. He called them dumb for passing on him as a potential starter this year, saying he had unfinished business elsewhere. Teens like the Pittsburgh Steelers, facing uncertainty with their quarterback situation or the Las Vegas Raiders, who might sit their top draft pick, could have used his experience. Instead, those clubs looked elsewhere. The Bengals now have their perfect backup locked in, adding depth and reliability behind Burrow as they gear up for another strong run.
