Adam Schefter says it is so. Traded. I have no details

If it is so;

Case Keenum sits
Joe handed the job
Ravens down the rabbit hole

The first QB taken off of the carousel.

wow glad cards didn't overpay for overhyped Keenum.... bad when you have to sign Flacco

but atleast Elway struck gold once with manning to get the Broncos a ring

Flacco doesn't seem like an upgrade but he is a veteran who doesn't panic. Change of scenario might be the spark. This is probably a one to two season hail mary.

Haven't the Ravens been awful at WR for years? Broncos have some weapons, at least.

great trade. Flacco is a great fit at denver and competition should help Keenum as well. as long as elway didnt spend too much this was a great move

Looks like Ravens are all-in with L Jackson and might be in the hunt to draft Murray as Jackson's backup in their offensive system. Does Balt need to trade up to secure Murray?

Not say it will definitely happen, but it might open the door for a Cardinal trade-down with the Ravens or another suitor.

Keenum is getting $21 million cap hit ($10 million cap hit if cut)
Flacco has a cap hit of $18 million.

Flacco stinks now. Who would you rather trust - Ozzie or Elway?

Flacco is nothing special. Elway would be better off drafting and developing a qb. This seems more of a desperation move.

Elway took another broken down QB a few years, That one worked.

I wouldn't hold my breath if I'm a Broncos fan however.
