Joe Flacco and the Jacksonville Jaguars seem like a natural fit, and apparently, the two sides have mutual interest in one another, according to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports.
Flacco is still under contract with the Baltimore Ravens, but the Ravens have made it blatantly clear that Lamar Jackson is their quarterback going forward and that they will be willing to do right by Flacco and send him to his preferred destination.
The Jaguars certainly make a whole lot of sense.
While Jacksonville has numerous issues it needs to sort out, its biggest hole is at the quarterback position.
Blake Bortles looked very competent in 2017 and actually had a pretty impressive playoff run last year, but this past season, he was so brutal that he was benched for Cody Kessler during the second half of the year.
Of course, Kessler was then so awful that Bortles won his job back during the second-to-last game of the 2018 campaign, but the point is that the Jaguars need a quarterback. Badly.
For a team that made it all the way to the AFC Championship Game a year ago, adding a veteran signal-caller with Super Bowl experience definitely makes more sense than trying to rebuild with a young quarterback, and it appears that that is the direction in which Jacksonville is going, as the Jags are also expressing interest in Nick Foles. Ryan Tannehill is another name that has surfaced.
Flacco had been the Ravens' quarterback since being drafted by the team back in 2008, leading them to the Super Bowl during the 2012-13 campaign after a legendary run in which he threw 11 touchdowns without an interception in the playoffs.
