Bengals head coach Zac Taylor told reporters on Monday that the team would evaluate its options at quarterback after Jake Browning’s struggles while filling in for the injured Joe Burrow.

Cincinnati has acted on one such option, bringing in a signal-caller from a division rival.

According to multiple reports, the Bengals have agreed to acquire Joe Flacco from the Browns.

Cincinnati will receive Joe Flacco and a sixth-round pick in exchange for a fifth-round pick to complete the rare intra-AFC North trade.

Flacco, 40, started Cleveland’s first four games of the season before being replaced by Dillon Gabriel for the Browns’ Week 5 loss to the Vikings in London. Flacco completed 58.1 percent of his passes for 815 yards with two touchdowns and six interceptions in those four starts.
