The Cincinnati Bengals are making an addition to their quarterback room amid Jake Browning’s struggles following Joe Burrow’s injury.
The Bengals have acquired Joe Flacco in a trade with the Cleveland Browns, NFL Media reported Tuesday. Cincinnati will give up a fifth-round draft pick for Flacco, while Cleveland will also give up a sixth-round pick as part of the deal.
Cincinnati’s move for Flacco comes as it’s lost three straight games after Burrow was sidelined with a toe injury in Week 2. Browning has started all three games for the Bengals in Burrow’s absence, throwing for 757 yards, six touchdowns and eight interceptions with a 70.5 passer rating so far this season.
Flacco, meanwhile, was the Browns’ starting quarterback to open the season, but was benched after their Week 4 loss to the Detroit Lions. Cleveland went 1-3 in Flacco’s starts, throwing for 815 yards, two touchdowns and six interceptions and a 60.3 passer rating.
