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.

Daniel Jones News

Colts, Daniel Jones Agree to Two-Year, $88 Million Deal

Wednesday, March 11, 7:27 AM

The Indianapolis Colts and quarterback Daniel Jones agreed to a two-year, $88 million deal on Wednesday that could be worth up to $100 million, multiple sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Jones will get $50 million in the first year, and it's the largest two-year contract in history. It officially makes Indiana Jones the Colts' franchise QB after his impressive first year with the team in 2025. The 28-year-old won't have to play the 2026 season on the transition tag, which would have paid him $37.83 million this year. Before tearing his right Achilles tendon in Week 14, the former sixth overall pick in 2019 by the New York Giants out of Duke had thrown for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. Jones looked good last year in his first year with the team, but his uncertain recovery from a major injury will make him a pretty risky QB2 selection in fantasy football drafts later this year.
