Joe Flacco is on his way back to the Jets.
According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Jets have traded for the veteran Eagles quarterback ahead of the deadline, which lands next Tuesday. Flacco was with the Jets last year and notched four starts due to the injury-related issues of then-New York quarterback Sam Darnold.
