The Cincinnati Bengals have agreed to terms with veteran quarterback Joe Flacco on a one-year contract, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The move adds a high-profile veteran presence to the Bengals roster as they prepare for the upcoming NFL season.
Per Schefter, the deal is worth a base of $6 million and includes various performance incentives that could increase the total value of the contract to $9 million. Flacco joins Cincinnati after a resurgent stint with the Cleveland Browns last season, where he provided a significant spark to their offense and led the team to a playoff berth.
By joining the Bengals, Flacco remains in the AFC North, moving from one division rival to another. The 39-year-old quarterback brings 16 seasons of NFL experience and a Super Bowl MVP title to a quarterback room currently led by Joe Burrow. The team has not yet officially announced the signing or provided further details regarding the specific structure of the incentives.
