Although Joe Flacco is recovering from a neck surgery that is expected to keep him out of action for months, he agreed to terms with the Jets on Friday. The former Ravens and Broncos quarterback will sign a one-year deal, according to his agency (Twitter link).

This will add an experienced arm for a Jets team that previously featured a thin depth chart behind Sam Darnold. The Jets did re-sign David Fales and drafted James Morgan in Round 4 this offseason, but Flacco (if healthy) obviously offers a higher floor. After expressing interest in Andy Dalton, the Jets landed his longtime AFC North rival.

Flacco’s deal will be worth $1.5MM with incentives that could bring the price up to $4.5MM, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter). The 12th-year veteran is also expected to be ready to participate in training camp, though Schefter tweets the former Super Bowl MVP likely will not be medically cleared until September.

He may work out from his neck injury and be and okay backup to Darnold. Mike White maybe looking for a new home!

Not a bad pick up at all

bad signing. Won't pay best safety in league, give this a guy a contract?

[Devlin]

says he won't be ready for week one.

they paid the man 1.5 mill with some incentives if he hits them. It really has no bearing on Jamal adams at all.

The signing is ok. He wants to start but needs to understand his place on the Jets I like the Rookie the Jets just drafted. Maybe washed up Flacco can teach him and show darnold a thing or too but at this point in darnolds career flacco is not going to have much to teach sam.

sends wrong message to adams. Course jets are a pretty messed up franchise.
