The Cincinnati Bengals and quarterback Joe Flacco agreed to a one-year deal, his agent told Jeremy Fowler. Flacco’s deal is worth $6 million and can reach up to $9 million with incentives, Fowler reports.
Cincinnati acquired Flacco from the Cleveland Browns in early October of last season. He was then immediately inserted as the starting quarterback to replace Jake Browning, who had been struggled in his three starts replacing the injured Joe Burrow.
Flacco started six games for the Bengals in 2025, completing just over 60% of his throws for 1,664 yards with 13 touchdowns and four interceptions. Flacco backed up Burrow for the final six games of the season after his return from a toe injury.
The 41-year-old Flacco has started 201 games in his 18-year career. In that time, he has played for six different teams. His most notable accolade came in 2012, when Flacco was named MVP of Super Bowl XLVII after helping lead the Baltimore Ravens to a Lombardi Trophy during that season.
Cincinnati now has Burrow, Flacco, Sean Clifford, and Josh Johnson on its quarterback depth chart.
