Flacco becomes the latest passer to come through the quarterback carousel in Denver. The Broncos have gone through the likes of Case Keenum (still on Denver's roster), Trevor Siemian, Paxton Lynch and Brock Osweiler after the retirement of Peyton Manning.
Flacco was injured during the 2018-19 season, allowing rookie and 2018 first round draft pick Lamar Jackson to take over the starting spot. Jackson played well enough during his time as the starter to never give Flacco a chance to return to the No. 1 role in Baltimore.
Flacco, 34, played 11 seasons for Baltimore after being drafted 18th overall in 2008. He went on to win a Super Bowl, as well as Super Bowl MVP honors in the 2012 season, while passing for 38,245 yards, 212 touchdowns and 136 interceptions in 163 career NFL games.
