Joe Flacco Returns to Bengals at 41

About this episode

Joe Flacco, at 41, returns to the Bengals for his 19th NFL season, serving as a reliable backup to Joe Burrow. Despite a strong performance last season, Flacco feels overlooked, with pundits like Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson pointing to his inconsistent track record. Over the past four years, Flacco started 25 games with a 9-16 record, but his experience makes him a valuable asset for the Bengals.

On March 26, Joe Flacco is returning to the Cincinnati Bengals at age 41 for his 19th NFL season. He's resigning with the team after stepping in last year when Joe Burrow got hurt. This keeps him as a reliable backup option ready to go. Flacco expressed some frustration that other teams didn't show more interest this off-season. He had a strong run with the Bengals last season. One of his best stretches lately, but feels overlooked on the open market. Pundits like Shannon Sharp and Chad Johnson pushed back on that. They pointed out Flacco's pattern with recent teams where he starts hot, but then fades. Both see him now as a solid backup, not the top guy anymore. Over his last four years, starting 25 games across four teams, Flacco win nine wins and 16 losses. He threw 45 touchdowns against 28 interceptions, but the wins didn't follow. That said, at his age and experience, landing this role is a win. He can spell Burrow when needed and share veteran know-how,

making it a smart move for Cincinnati heading into the season.
