Joe Flacco is headed back to the Big Apple for another season.
The Jets reportedly agreed to terms with Flacco on a one-year deal, $3.5 million deal, plus incentives, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The quarterback’s agency, JL Sports, first shared the news on Wednesday.
Wednesday’s report sets Flacco up for his third stint in New York in the last three years. He’ll return to the Jets in 2022 as a veteran backup and mentor to rising second-year quarterback and former No. 2 pick Zach Wilson.
After playing five games and making four starts for the Jets in 2020, Flacco ended up back with the franchise last season after the Eagles traded him to New York in exchange for a conditional sixth round pick.
