Joe Flacco News

Joe Flacco Reaches Agreement to Return to Bengals

Tuesday, March 24, 2:03 PM

Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco reached an agreement on an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday to re-sign with the Cincinnati Bengals, his agents told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Flacco will return to Cincy for a 19th NFL season after spending time with both the Bengals and Cleveland Browns in 2025. The 41-year-old veteran began the year as the starter in Cleveland, but he was traded to the Bengals after four starts to fill in for the injured Joe Burrow. Flacco became a streaming QB in fantasy formats after landing in Cincy, as he threw for 1,664 yards, 13 touchdowns, and four interceptions in nine games (six starts) after the trade. Despite his age, Flacco has proved in recent seasons that he still has a little magic left in the tank as a backup signal-caller. Burrow continues to be hampered by injuries in his career, so if he misses more time in 2026, Flacco will be called to the rescue again and could once again be worth picking up off the waiver wire for QB-needy fantasy managers.

Anthony Richardson Sr. to Stay With Colts?

Tuesday, March 31, 8:45 AM

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard isn't ruling out the possibility of quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) remaining with the team in 2026, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN. "There's definitely a scenario there. He's a good dude, and he's talented," Ballard said on Monday. With Daniel Jones (Achilles) becoming the starter in 2025 and with Richardson suffering a freak season-ending eye injury, the former fourth overall pick's future in Indy has been very cloudy since late last season. The Colts gave Richardson and his representation permission to seek a trade in late February, but no deal is imminent, and it's unclear if one will ever materialize. The Green Bay Packers are among the teams most interested as they search for a replacement for Malik Willis behind starter Jordan Love. Richardson's inability to stay healthy and the emergence of Riley Leonard as a backup option to Jones have made Richardson a prime candidate for a new start elsewhere. The 23-year-old's dynasty value would most likely benefit from a change of scenery and potentially a better shot at earning a starting role again.
