Joe Flacco is officially a Jet.
The veteran quarterback signed his one-year deal with the Jets, the team announced on Wednesday. Flacco, a former Super Bowl MVP, was brought in to back up third-year quarterback Sam Darnold.
Flacco, 35, is coming of neck surgery and said during an interview with SiriusXM NFL Radio on Tuesday that he would not be ready for Week 1. But he’s already begun throwing and working out and is confident he can continue his playing career and help the Jets.
He will be the experienced presence the Jets need in their quarterback room.
