Joe Flacco Joins Bengals as Joe Burrow's Backup

0:00On March 25th, veteran quarterback Joe Flacco has signed a one-year deal with the Cincinnati Bengals to back up Joe Burrow starting next season. He had been hoping to land a spot where he could compete for a starting job in the 2026 season. Flacco made it clear he's disappointed, saying he wishes teams will give him that chance and that they're making a mistake by passing him up. This move brings the experienced signal caller back to Cincinnati after his brief stint their last year. With Burrow healthy and leading the offense, Flacco provides solid depth as the Bengals gear up for another strong run.
