Franklin's agents told ESPN and NFL Network the deal is worth $31.26 million. Franklin was drafted by the Colts out of Syracuse University in the seventh round.
"I know that this is a team, from knowing Shane – they’re well coached and they have the ability to be a playoff team and really make a run at it," Flacco said at a news conference Friday on joining the team.
Members of the media asked Flacco about his thoughts on quarterback Anthony Richardson, who suffered multiple injuries in his rookie season. “I think we all see what kind of athlete he is and what kind of arm he has and all those types of things. That’s why I said earlier, for me being here, it’s teaching him how to simplify, play fast and use those tools as opposed to trying to process certain things that you don’t really need to worry about and you go out there and you’re not even able to use your skillset the way you want to. You kind of slow yourself down a little bit," Flacco said.
He wanted to stay in Cleveland to back up Deshaun Watson, but the Browns didn’t make him an offer, agent Joe Linta told the AP.Flacco turned down an offer from the Philadelphia Eagles to join the Colts. The Saints also had interest in the veteran QB. Flacco has played in 188 games and has thrown for 245 touchdowns and 155 interceptions for a 84.2 passer rating. He also has 864 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns. He won Super Bowl XLVII with the Ravens and was named Super Bowl MVP.WTHR would like to send you push notifications about the latest news and weather.
