where did joe flacco go

Joe Flacco was traded from the Cleveland Browns to the Cincinnati Bengals in October 2025. The Bengals acquired Flacco along with a 2026 sixth-round draft pick in exchange for the Bengals' 2026 fifth-round pick. This trade happened as the Bengals were struggling with their starting quarterback Joe Burrow injured and backup Jake Browning underperforming. Flacco, who started the first four games of the 2025 season for the Browns, will be the Bengals' quarterback until Burrow's expected return from injury in December. Flacco has now played for three teams in the AFC North, having previously won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens.
