Plenty of moves happened in the NFL offseason. There were some head scratchers, but one site says Denver might regret the Joe Flacco trade.

Vic Fangio and the Denver Broncos worked quite a bit during the 2019 offseason to get the team back into contention on paper. It all began with the trade for Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco. The move was a somewhat interesting one. But it did make some sense.

The team got through a season with Case Keenum and it was apparent that after one year, it simply was not going to work out. Once the Broncos got Flacco, the team traded Keenum and now here we are.

There is no doubt that a veteran like Joe Flacco is an upgrade over what Denver had at the position since Peyton Manning retired. And who knows? Perhaps he has something left in the tank. But according to Total Pro Sports, it might be another case of a quarterback simply not working out.

The YouTube channel listed ten of the offseason moves that certain NFL teams might end up regretting. And sure enough, one of the first moves that was listed was the Denver Broncos trading for Joe Flacco.

They mention his age, coming off an injury, and that he spent the last bit of time in Baltimore on the bench.  Not to mention they included the struggles the Broncos have dealt with regarding the quarterback position. They even mention John Elway on the way out if this does not pan out?

Next. Drew Lock finds success in the final practice before heading to Canton. dark

For what it is worth, it seems they failed to realize what the Broncos look like as a unit. There were plenty of upgrades throughout the offseason. And Joe Flacco is a solid upgrade over what Denver had.

To me, it is too early to determine if this will be a move that the team will regret. Do not forget, the team does have a future waiting in the wings with Drew Lock. Brett Rypien could also be considered.

But it might not be a bad idea to have a tested veteran at the quarterback job while the team waits for their future to develop. In that mindset, I believe having Joe Flacco will be a good move until then.
