New York Jets will have a veteran in their quarterback room after all. According to NFL Network’s insider Mike Garafolo, Jets agreed to a deal with veteran signal-caller Joe Flacco. 

Flacco reportedly inked a one-year deal with the organization, being in line to earn $1.5 million this year. However, his salary could go up to $4.5 million based on incentives.

Flacco joins the Jets after Denver Broncos released him back in March “with a failed physical designation.” The 35-year-old started eight games with Broncos in 2019, before being shut down for the season due to a neck injury. He posted 2-6 record while throwing for 1,822 yards, six touchdowns, and five interceptions.

With Joe Flacco on the roster, Jets can now rest assured that they will have a competent option on the QB position if starter Sam Darnold gets injured or regresses. Besides Darnold, the team’s QB depth previously included veteran David Fales, who completed just 31 passes since entering the league in 2016.

Flacco is best known for his stint with Baltimore Ravens, where started 163 games between 2008 and 2018. He led the franchise to a Super Bowl in 2012, winning Super Bowl MVP honors in the process.

Flacco’s career stats include 61.9 career completion percentage, 40,067 passing yards, and 2018 passing TDs.

Denver Broncos are ending the Joe Flacco experiment after just one season. The team announced on Thursday that they are releasing Flacco “with a failed physical designation.”

According to reports, Denver won’t absorb a significant cap hit due to decision thanks to the fact that the two sides restructured Flacco’s deal back in 2019. The 35-year-old signal-caller was set to make $23.6 million in 2020 and $27.6 million in 2021.

Broncos brought in Joe Flacco last offseason with the intention to have him as a starter for at least a couple of years until rookie Drew Lock is ready to take over the reins. Flacco, however, had a disappointing start of the season before landing on the injured reserve list with neck issues. He ended the year with 1,822 passing yards, six touchdowns, and five interceptions.

Lock eventually stepped in for Flacco and obviously showed enough for Broncos to trust him with leading the team in 2020. The former Missouri QB played a total of five games last season, throwing for 1020 yards and seven TDs. In those five games, Denver was 4-1.
