Joe Flacco is on the move again. The Cincinnati Bengals acquired the veteran quarterback from the Cleveland Browns along with a 2026 sixth-round draft pick on Tuesday for a fifth-round pick next season. The 40-year-old Flacco gives Cincinnati another option. Jake Browning has struggled since replacing Joe Burrow, who is out with a toe injury sustained in Week 2. Flacco started the first four games for the Browns this season, completing 93 of 160 passes for 815 yards and two touchdowns with six interceptions. Rookie Dillon Gabriel replaced Flacco in the starting lineup. Rookie Shedeur Sanders now moves up to the backup spot.
With veteran quarterback Derek Carr retiring due to a shoulder injury, the door of opportunity has swung wide open for the well-traveled, 26-year-old rookie from Louisville.
The celebration will begin with quarterback Tyler Shough, who (as I wrote Tuesday) could surge into the first round.
