Joe Flacco has agreed to remain with the New York Jets in a backup quarterback role, and Zach Wilson seems quite pleased about that. The former BYU star had an awesome way of showing it.
After the Jets announced that they have re-signed Flacco, Wilson sent a hilarious tweet welcoming the 37-year-old back. He called Flacco “dad” and referred to him as an “Elite QB.”
Always helps to have an Elite QB in the locker room.
Welcome back, dad @JoeFlacco https://t.co/agdUaL6O90

Those who have followed Flacco’s career know that there was once a highly entertaining debate over whether Flacco should be considered “elite.” That question has since been answered (hint: he’s not), but the former Baltimore Ravens star does have a Super Bowl ring and Super Bowl MVP trophy. He may not be elite, but he has had a solid career.
Flacco was with the Jets in 2020 before he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as a backup to Jalen Hurts last season. He was then traded back to New York after Wilson went down with an injury. Obviously, he and Wilson established a close relationship during their brief time together.
