According to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, the Ravens have traded Flacco to the Denver Broncos for a mid-round draft pick.

Flacco spent ten seasons in Baltimore, winning a ring as the Super Bowl MVP in 2013 caping off one of the greatest postseason performances by a quarterback ever.
John Elway brings in Flacco after the trade for former Vikings QB Case Keenum last offseason didn’t quite pan out to expectations while the Ravens now move forward with their electric draft pick who will look to improve his pocket passing skills heading into next season.
