Joe Flacco<\/a> may be 41 years old, but he still thinks he has plenty left in the tank.<\/p>\n

The Super Bowl XLVII champion signed a one-year deal with the Cincinnati Bengals<\/a> to be Joe Burrow’s backup, but he wants much more than that.<\/p>\n

“Not being one of those guys to go sign somewhere, yeah, it pisses me off a little bit,” Flacco said.<\/p>\n

He then added a parting shot at just about every team in the league.<\/p>\n

“And believe me, I wish I was the guy somewhere, and I think teams are dumb for not having me be that guy,” he said.<\/p>\n

Flacco started last season for the Cleveland Browns<\/a> and was their Week 1 quarterback, but with two rookies in Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders in the wings, the writing was on the wall.<\/p>\n

Cleveland traded him to Cincinnati after Burrow suffered a serious turf-toe injury, and he found some success. Flacco played well despite going 1-5 as a starter with the Bengals. He threw for at least 200 yards in four of his six starts, and the Bengals’ offense averaged more than 27 points per game.<\/p>\n

But with his success, despite his wishes to be a starter, it’s a good consolation prize.<\/p>\n

“I feel like I have unfinished business. That’s part of why I’m here and still playing and doing all those things…” he said. “I had a lot of fun with Joe, and Joe’s the guy.”<\/p>\n

Flacco, who was Super Bowl MVP with the Baltimore Ravens<\/a> during the 2012 season, has played for the Broncos, Jets, Eagles, Jets again, Browns, Colts, Browns again and the Bengals.<\/p>\n

He has thrown for 48,176 yards, 272 touchdowns and 172 interceptions in 19 seasons. He is 10-6 in the playoffs with 3,530 yards passing, 26 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.<\/p>\n
