Oct. 7 (UPI) -- The Cincinnati Bengals agreed to trade for Cleveland Browns quarterback Joe Flacco, the teams announced Tuesday.
Flacco, who started four games this season and was benched last week, will join a Bengals quarterbacks room that also includes Jake Browning. The Bengals also released quarterback Brett Rypien, who served as Browning's backup in Week 5, in a corresponding transaction.
"Joe is an experienced quarterback with a history of winning," Bengals coach Zac Taylor said in a news release. "He is a leader with a skill set that will fit our personnel well.
"He is a gifted passer with a strong arm, and we are excited to have him on our team."
