Joe Flacco has played his last game as a member of the Baltimore Ravens, but that doesn't mean he won't be able to find a home elsewhere before the start of the 2019 season.
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that he believes Flacco absolutely has value around the league:
“I think his value’s high. I’m not just saying that, okay? But I do believe that,” Harbaugh said at the “State of the Ravens” press conference on Friday, according to Matthew Stevens of Ravens Wire. “Joe’s going to be on a lot of lists, there’s no doubt.”
There will definitely be some teams interested in Flacco's services.
One club that immediately jumps to mind is the Jacksonville Jaguars, who just spent this past season shuffling between Blake Bortles and Cody Kessler.
With Bortles looking like he is done in Jacksonville, the Jaguars are going to be in the market for a quarterback, and given that they are one year removed from reaching the AFC Championship Game, Jacksonville will probably lean toward a veteran signal-caller over a young guy that needs some work.
The Miami Dolphins could also represent a potential landing spot for Flacco, as it appears that Ryan Tannehill is on his way out. However, given the state of the Dolphins, they seem more likely to pursue youth under center than the Jags.
Flacco, now 34 years old, started nine games this season before injuring his hip.
He was then displaced by rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson, who maintained the starting job even when Flacco got healthy.
