The Cincinnati Bengals may explore trading backup quarterback Joe Flacco, according to a projection from Bleacher Report's Moe Moton. Flacco, who thrived in Cincinnati after being acquired last season, could fetch two fifth-round picks from a team looking for a quarterback. The Bengals could reconsider their backup situation, weighing the potential return against the necessity of having a strong backup behind Joe Burrow, who has an injury history. Flacco's performance indicates he remains a solid option at 41 years old, and a trade may provide significant draft capital for the Bengals.
