Joe Flacco Had Interest in Giants Before Re-Signing With Bengals

Quarterback Joe Flacco expressed interest in joining the New York Giants as a free agent in March, but the Giants did not reciprocate before extending Jameis Winston. Flacco ultimately returned to the Cincinnati Bengals on a one-year, $6 million contract to serve as primary backup to Joe Burrow. With Giants starter Jaxson Dart now nursing a knee injury and Cincinnati requiring experienced quarterback depth behind Burrow, Flacco remains locked into his role with the Bengals.
