Summary

Joe Flacco is back to backup Joe Burrow in 2026, and it's a testament to a bigger picture that the Bengals' front office is listening to the players and the fans. Alex Frank and Coach Art Valero discuss the value Flacco brings not only as a backup quarterback but also as a sounding board and invaluable resource to Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow has plenty of weapons on offense, but does he have enough? Should the Bengals maybe make a run at signing veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins? It could actually boost the front office's approval rating with the fanbase. Finally, Alex and Art discuss a fun topic just under seven weeks from the approximate release of the NFL Schedule.
