The Baltimore Ravens have agreed to trade their former Super Bowl MVP, Joe Flacco, to the Denver Broncos in exchange for a fourth-round pick. Flacco, who is 34 years old, led his team to the playoffs in six of his first seven seasons but has not seen postseason action since 2014.
The Broncos, who had a disappointing 6-10 record last season despite having Case Keenum as their quarterback, are looking forward to having Flacco on board. Flacco played only nine games in 2018 and recorded 12 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. It is worth noting that Flacco has some familiarity with the Broncos’ new Head Coach, Vic Fangio, who previously worked with him during their time with the Ravens.
With the 10th pick in the upcoming draft, Denver may still opt to select a quarterback in the first round to address their long-term needs at the position.
The trade is set to be finalized on Wednesday, March 13, coinciding with the start of the new NFL year.
