Who Should I Start? Joe Flacco or Trace McSorley

Wednesday, March 13, 7:42 PM

Former Cleveland Browns quarterback and NFL Comeback Player of the Year winner Joe Flacco reached an agreement with the Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday on a one-year deal worth up to $8.7 million, including $4.5 million guaranteed, according to sources. Flacco came off his couch to unexpectedly lead the Browns to the postseason in 2023, ultimately finishing with 1,616 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions in five starts during the regular season. The 39-year-old veteran will now head to Indy to replace Gardner Minshew as the primary backup for young signal-caller Anthony Richardson, who saw his rookie season come to an end early last year due to a shoulder injury. Given Richardson's propensity to run with the ball, another injury in 2024 could force Flacco back into the spotlight.

The Chicago Bears signed quarterback Trace McSorley to their practice squad on Tuesday. McSorley last spent time with the New England Patriots but was released by the team late in August when they went to trim their roster down to 53. Chicago's signing of McSorley will give them depth in their quarterback room with Justin Fields tending to a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand. For now, it looks like rookie Tyson Bagent will start in Week 7 with Nathan Peterman operating as his backup.
