Jets Rejected Joe Flacco, Has Chance for Revenge in Browns Game

he New York Jets said thanks, but no thanks.

NFL Insider Dianna Russini of The Athletic revealed that “Joe Flacco expressed interest in re-signing with the Jets after Aaron Rodgers was injured but the team decided to stick with Zach Wilson and Tim Boyle, eventually adding Trevor Siemian to the practice squad.”

Flacco instead bided his time waiting for the right opportunity and he got it after signing a deal with the Cleveland Browns on November, 20. The veteran passer will have a chance to get his revenge in a prime-time affair in Week 17.

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh is looking forward to a family reunion in Week 17.

The green and white travel to play the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football on December, 28. Saleh was asked to react to the play of veteran quarterback Joe Flacco who has taken over the QB1 role in Cleveland.

“Joe is awesome. Obviously, you know that we all love and appreciate Joe and [we] always felt very confident when he was on the football field. I have the utmost respect for Joe,” Saleh explained to the media on Monday, December 25. “I’ve said it before he’s like a Ford pickup truck, you might not like it in the summer but in the winter months December [and] January, that son of a gun starts humming. He is playing some really really good football.”
