"ESPN's Dan Graziano made it clear he heard from plenty of folks in league circles who expect Flacco to join Kevin Stefanski in Atlanta, an option I've identified as likely basically since Stefanski was hired. Flacco played for Stefanski in 2023 and 2025 before Cleveland's front office shipped him out last year, with that 2023 stint responsible for revitalizing his career as a starter."
"Flacco can still sling it heading into his age 41 season, even if he's most immovable, and would be a stylistic complement to Penix who could fill in but would not bristle at being a backup if it came to that. He's a very logical choice, albeit one I wouldn't be interested in investing in beyond 2026."
"Tagovailoa is a different story. In that same article, an NFL coach told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler (unprompted, as Fowler puts it) to keep an eye on Tua to the Falcons. The 28-year-old quarterback is considerably younger than Flacco and would seem to have more upside, but his tenure ended awfully in Miami, he's been brutally bad in the intermediate-to-deep middle and as a deep passer in general in recent years."
The Atlanta Falcons face a key offseason decision regarding quarterback depth behind Michael Penix Jr. League insiders believe the team will pursue either Joe Flacco or Tua Tagovailoa. Flacco, who previously played for Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski in Cleveland, represents a logical choice as a veteran backup who can still perform at age 41 and complements Penix's style. Tagovailoa offers youth and potential upside at 28 years old, though his Miami tenure ended poorly and he has struggled with intermediate and deep passing while suffering multiple concussions. Flacco appears the more probable target, though both options present distinct advantages and concerns for Atlanta's quarterback room.
