The Indianapolis Colts will reportedly commit to Anthony Richardson for the future.
Or at least for another season.
With that in mind, it seems like Joe Flacco will have to look for another team if he wants to be a starter.
However, with him set to turn 40 years old in the next couple of weeks, some wondered whether he would retire.
According to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk, however, that will not be the case.
The former Super Bowl champion will look to return for at least another year:
“Per a source with knowledge of Flacco’s thinking, he fully intends to play in 2025,” Florio said.
Truth be told, he’s played much better than the average quarterback this season.
He completed 26 of 38 passes for 330 yards in the loss to the New York Giants, a game that ended the Colts’ season.
He had a 1-4 record this season, but he still completed almost 67% of his passes for 1,497 yards, 11 touchdowns, and seven interceptions.
Of course, teams already knew what to expect with Flacco at this point in his career.
Under the right circumstances, his strong arm and determination to sling the football down the field will shred opposing defenses.
There will also be some erratic and wild throws and turnovers, and he’s not particularly mobile.
Even so, we’re talking about the most sought-after position in the league, and only a limited number of players have proven that they can consistently keep the chains in motion.
Sometimes, age is just a number, and Flacco wants to continue defying Father Time for a little longer.
