The NY Jets have reportedly signed their desired backup QB in Joe Flacco

The NY Jets were showing interest in signing a veteran backup quarterback over the past few weeks, and now it appears as though they’ve finally landed their guy in the form of longtime Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco.

As first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Jets have reportedly signed Flacco to a one-year, $1.5 million contract worth up to $4.5 million with incentives.

Despite drafting FIU quarterback James Morgan in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft and re-signing the incumbent David Fales, the Jets remained interested in adding a more experienced backup.
