The Facts: Flacco’s agents announced on Wednesday that he has agreed to a one-year deal to return New York as Zach Wilson‘s backup in 2022.
Diehards Line:
Flacco was with the team in 2020 and then returned via a trade with the Eagles after Wilson suffered a knee injury. Flacco started four times in 2020 and appeared in two games and started once in 2021. He went 27-of-42 for 338 yards and three touchdowns in the latter appearances. The Jets can also tender Mike White as a restricted free agent if they want to stick with all three of the quarterbacks who closed out last season on their roster.
