New York Jets Sign Joe Flacco to One-Year Deal
FeaturedThe question of whether or not Joe Flacco is ELITE will be debated by the New York media in 2020. Today, the New York Jets have added some championship experience to the roster as ESPN’s Adam Schefter has reported that the team is signing former Super Bowl MVP, Joe Flacco to a one-year contract:
Jets are signing former Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco to a one-year deal, sources tell ESPN. Jets GM Joe Douglas was a Ravens’ scout in 2008, when Baltimore drafted Flacco in round one. Now Flacco will rejoin Douglas, and compete for the backup job when he’s healthy and ready.

Schefter also had the contract details too:
Joe Flacco’s 1-year deal with the Jets is worth $1.5 million that with incentives can bring it to $4.5 million, per source. https://t.co/VDrmdz4yfM

It will be a reunion for Flacco as he teams up with Joe Douglas who was a member of the Ravens front office when the team drafted him in 2008 as NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah points out:

The Jets now have four quarterbacks on their roster heading into training camp—whenever that will be—and Schefter once again provides that information:
QBs the Jets now slated to bring to camp:
🏈 Sam Darnold
🏈 Joe Flacco
🏈 David Fales
🏈 Mike White
🏈 James Morgan (rookie 4th-round pick)— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) May 22, 2020
Flacco provides the Jets with an experienced starter to backup Sam Darnold and time help mold him into the franchise quarterback the team hopes he will be.
