Joe Flacco

Joe Flacco is an NFL quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals as of September 28, 2026. Cincinnati re-signed him to a one-year contract on March 25, 2026, after acquiring him from the Cleveland Browns during the 2025 season. Listed at 6 feet 6 inches and 245 pounds, Flacco was born on January 16, 1985, in Audubon, New Jersey. He attended the University of Pittsburgh before transferring to the University of Delaware, where he became the Blue Hens’ starting quarterback and established multiple program records.

The Baltimore Ravens selected Flacco in the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft with the 18th overall pick. He spent his first 11 NFL seasons with Baltimore and helped the Ravens win Super Bowl XLVII after the 2012 season, earning Super Bowl MVP honors. His postseason reputation was built around poise, durability and aggressive downfield passing, supported by a powerful right arm and experience operating in difficult weather conditions.

Flacco later played for Denver, the New York Jets, Philadelphia, Cleveland and Indianapolis before returning to Cleveland in 2025 and moving to Cincinnati. His 2023 season with the Browns brought the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award after he joined the club late in the year and helped guide it to the playoffs. In 2026, Flacco remains an active Bengals quarterback and a veteran presence in Cincinnati’s quarterback room.
