Flacco spent the 2020 season with the Jets on a one-year contract worth $1.5 million. He only appeared in five games last season and primarily served as a backup for Sam Darnold. 

Flacco threw for 864 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions during his brief stint in New York where the team finished at the bottom of the AFC East with a record of 2–14. 

Flacco, 36, was drafted by the Ravens in 2008 and spent the first ten years of his career there where he won Super Bowl XLVII and was named the game's MVP. He signed with the Broncos in 2019, but he only appeared in eight games due to a neck injury.
