Bengals Sign QB Heavily Linked to Vikings
After extensive quarterback theories, sponsored by fans and media members, the Minnesota Vikings landed on a double-fisted combo at quarterback next to J.J. McCarthy in 2026: Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz. That man will not be Joe Flacco, who frequented the rumor mill in the last two months. Flacco signed with the Cincinnati Bengals on Tuesday.
Cincinnati closed the door on one more Vikings-adjacent QB rumor from early in the offseason.
Flacco’s career continues to chug along, the poster of volume stats when a team’s QB1 gets hurt.
Cincinnati’s Move Ends the Flacco Theories for Another Year
Flacco returns to a familiar spot.
Flacco to CIN
It’s a reunion deal for Flacco, who wound up in Cincinnati via trade midseason when Joe Burrow missed several games.
ESPN’s Ben Bay wrote Tuesday, “Joe Flacco is coming back for another season. The 41-year-old quarterback has agreed to a one-year deal to stay with the Cincinnati Bengals, his agent, Joe Linta, told ESPN. Sources told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler the contract is for $6 million, but could be worth up to $9 million with incentives.”
“Flacco began last season as the Cleveland Browns’ top quarterback. But after four starts, he was benched in favor of Cleveland rookie Dillon Gabriel. Around the same time, the Bengals needed a starting quarterback following Joe Burrow’s turf toe injury and Jake Browning’s struggles. Cincinnati sent the Browns a 2026 fifth-round pick in exchange for Flacco and a 2026 sixth-round pick. Browning signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier this offseason.”
The guy has Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers-like staying power per age.
The Las Vegas Raiders were evidently interested in Flacco, too, as Cincy Jungle‘s Anthony Cosenza noted, “Apparently, the Las Vegas Raiders were heavily interested in Flacco, with the Bengals stepping up to land the 41-year-old signal-caller. While the Bengals prioritized re-signing Flacco, they also had the understanding that he was going to search for the best offer, and one that had the potential to start.”
“While he doesn’t receive the latter in Cincinnati, he got a lucrative backup deal (one year, $6 million, worth up to $9 million) and returns to a place he seemed to have greatly enjoyed when coming over midseason.”
Resume in the NFL
Flacco joined the NFL from Round 1 in 2008 with the Baltimore Ravens and has started 201 games since. He ranks 14th all-time in passing yards and 21st in passing touchdowns. As of late, he’s morphed into a mercenary for hire, the guy called by teams when a QB1 gets hurt, and volume passing is needed.
In 18 seasons, he averages 230 passing yards per game and won a Super Bowl with the 2012 Ravens.
Here’s his destination resume:
- Baltimore Ravens (2008–2018)
- Denver Broncos (2019)
- New York Jets (2020)
- Philadelphia Eagles (2021)
- New York Jets (2021–2022)
- Cleveland Browns (2023)
- Indianapolis Colts (2024)
- Cleveland Browns (2025)
- Cincinnati Bengals (2025–now)
SI.com‘s James Rapien on the Bengals’ 2026 quarterback room: “Flacco returns to be Burrow’s backup. The Bengals also signed veteran Josh Johnson earlier this month. They have a trio of signal callers that make up arguably the best quarterback room in the NFL.”
“Burrow is one of, if not the best quarterback on the planet when he’s healthy. Flacco is a Super Bowl champion entering his 19th season. Johnson is a battle tested veteran that has bounced around the league, but has stuck around and joins Flacco as the only other quarterback from the 2008 NFL Draft that is still in the league.”
Burrow Insurance
The Bengals basically wanted another Joe in case their main Joe gets hurt. Burrow isn’t necessarily injury-prone, but compared to other Top 10 quarterbacks, he’s not far from the label. In the last three seasons, Burrow has missed one-third of all games due to injury.
Instead of trading for Flacco if something happens to Burrow in 2026 — that’s what the Bengals did last year — they simply re-signed him in March to hedge the bet.
The previous QB2 alternative was a man named Jake Browning, who began his career with the Vikings a half-decade ago. Browning turned heads in his few starts with decent performance but later fizzled and signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week.
All the Bengals FA Moves
Cincinnati has been one of the quieter teams in free agency per volume, with these newcomers and re-signings:
- Jonathan Allen (DL) MIN → CIN
- Bryan Cook (S) KC → CIN
- Joe Flacco (QB) CIN → CIN
- Boye Mafe (ED) SEA → CIN
- Josh Johnson (QB) BAL → CIN
And then men who left for new adventures:
- Tycen Anderson (S) CIN → DEN
- Jake Browning (QB) CIN → TB
- Noah Fant (TE) CIN → NO
- Geno Stone (S) CIN → BUF
- Trey Hendrickson (ED) CIN → BAL
- Marco Wilson (CB) CIN → MIA
- Joseph Ossai (ED) CIN → NYJ
- Cam Taylor-Britt (CB) CIN → IND
Flacco will turn 42 during the postseason in 2026. The Vikings are slated to play the Bengals again in 2029.

Unique record! Priyansh Arya and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi are the only batters in IPL history to … | Cricket News
NEW DELHI: Two young batting sensations – Priyansh Arya and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi – have taken the IPL by storm in no time. With fearless strokeplay, effortless six-hitting and breathtaking strike rates, the duo has emerged as the face of a new generation of ultra-aggressive T20 batting.While Sooryavanshi has been dismantling bowling attacks for Rajasthan Royals, Priyansh has been doing the same at full throttle for Punjab Kings. Their explosive starts in the powerplay have stunned opponents and thrilled fans across the tournament.
The impact of the two youngsters is reflected in a remarkable stat. Sooryavanshi currently tops the list for most 50-plus scores in overs 1-6 among Indian batters in IPL history with four such scores, while Priyansh Arya follows closely with three. Priyansh added another explosive knock to his growing reputation with a 24-ball fifty against Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala during IPL 2026.Priyansh Arya’s fearless approachPriyansh carried his explosive form from the Delhi Premier League into the IPL and quickly became one of Punjab Kings’ biggest success stories. Bought for INR 3.8 crore from a base price of INR 30 lakh, the uncapped left-hander emerged as PBKS’ third-highest run-scorer in IPL 2025.He formed a dangerous opening partnership with Prabhsimran Singh and lit up the tournament with fearless strokeplay. Priyansh smashed the fifth-fastest century in IPL history — a 39-ball hundred against Chennai Super Kings – along with two fifties in his debut season.In IPL 2026, Priyansh has continued his stunning rise, scoring 336 runs in 10 matches at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 231.72, including 32 sixes. Across two IPL seasons, he has already amassed 811 runs in 27 matches with 57 sixes to his name.Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s rapid riseAt just 13 years old, Sooryavanshi became the youngest player ever to earn an IPL contract when Rajasthan Royals bought him for INR 1.1 crore ahead of IPL 2025. A year later, he created history again by becoming the youngest centurion in men’s T20 cricket.The teenage sensation hammered 101 off just 38 balls against Gujarat Titans, bringing up his hundred in only 35 deliveries — the second-fastest century in IPL history.In IPL 2025, Sooryavanshi scored 252 runs in seven matches at a strike rate of 206.55. He has taken things to another level in IPL 2026, scoring 440 runs in 11 matches at an astonishing strike rate of 236.55, including 40 sixes already this season.Overall, the RR youngster has smashed 692 runs in 18 IPL matches at a staggering strike rate of 224.67, with two centuries and three fifties.Before his IPL heroics, Sooryavanshi had already represented India Under-19 and scored a 58-ball century against Australia Under-19. He also played a key role in India’s run to the ACC Under-19 Asia Cup 2024 final.
Taylor Heinicke never took a regular season snap for the Minnesota Vikings, but once upon a time, he felt like an offshoot solution for the future. A decade later, Heinicke has decided to retire.
Minnesota never saw the full Heinicke story, but the old Vikings QB built one anyway.
Heincke didn’t sign anywhere for the 2025 season, a hint that he wouldn’t be back, and that suspicion was confirmed last week.
Heinicke’s Strange NFL Ride Started in Minnesota
It’s the end of the road for Heinicke after nearly 30 starts in the big leagues.
Heinicke Retires.
That’s a wrap for Heinicke. ESPN’s John Keim wrote Thursday, “Quarterback Taylor Heinicke, who became a fan favorite during his two-plus seasons with the Washington Commanders, announced the end of an improbable NFL career Thursday. Heinicke, 33, posted a message to Instagram thanking those who supported him throughout his seven-year NFL career in which he spent time with seven franchises — appearing in games for five of them.”
“Heinicke was released in August by the Los Angeles Chargers and went unsigned for the rest of the season. He played four games with the Chargers in 2024, attempting five passes.”
Heinicke personally noted on his decision, “Many ups and downs throughout the years, but the ups outweigh the downs tenfold. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would’ve been able to live this life… Excited for this next chapter of my life.”
Time in MIN
The Vikings signed Heinicke as an undrafted free agent in 2015, where he eventually secured the QB3 job behind Teddy Bridgewater and Shaun Hill. He remained with Minnesota until September 2017, then played for the Houston Texans, Carolina Panthers, Washington Commanders, and Atlanta Falcons. His career also included a stint in the XFL with the St. Louis BattleHawks in 2020.
During his tenure in Minnesota, Heinicke became known for a notable off-the-field incident that severely hampered his career. He suffered a significant setback with the Vikings after he reportedly kicked through a glass door when locked out of a friend’s apartment, sustaining a serious leg injury. Consequently, he never played a regular season snap for the Vikings before the aforementioned departure to Houston in 2017.
Career Resume
Heinicke saw action in 42 career games from 2017 to 2024, with 29 starts, while his teams went 13-15-1 and his watch. He tallied 6,663 passing yards, 42 total touchdowns, and 28 interceptions. Per efficiency and according to EPA+CPOE, his best historical comparisons are Matt Cassel and Justin Fields.
Over a 17-start sample, Heinicke averaged this statline for context:
- 3,602 Passing Yards
- 25 Total TDs
- 16 INTs
- 62.5 Completion %
Here’s his full resume by team:
- Minnesota Vikings (2015–2017)
- New England Patriots (2017)
- Houston Texans (2017)
- Carolina Panthers (2018)
- St. Louis BattleHawks (2020)
- Washington Commanders (2020–2022)
- Atlanta Falcons (2023)
- Los Angeles Chargers (2024)
Best Memory?
Heinicke started one playoff game in his career. He led the Commanders in the postseason against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Tom Brady’s team — in the 2020 Wildcard Round, losing by a score of 31-23.
But in the contest, Heinicke looked like he belonged, delivering 306 passing yards and two touchdowns. The Commanders featured three other quarterbacks that season: Alex Smith, Dwayne Haskins, and Kyle Allen. By happenstance, Heinicke got the tap on the shoulder for the playoffs and damn near knocked off Brady’s Buccaneers.
Brady and Co. would eventually win the Super Bowl handily over the Kansas City Chiefs.
SI.com‘s Joanne Coley on Heinicke: “Heinicke’s football career was not easy. After a standout college career at Old Dominion University, he went undrafted in 2015 and spent several years bouncing around the league. He had short stints with the Houston Texans, Carolina Panthers, and Minnesota Vikings, mostly as a backup quarterback.”
“Everything changed later that year when Washington called him late in the season. Heinicke was unexpectedly thrust into the starting role for a playoff game against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite the loss, Heinicke delivered one of the most memorable performances fans would remember.”
The Vikings saw Heinicke a couple of years later when he led the Falcons — the game when Joshua Dobbs Mania took hold.
Coley added, “He threw for more than 300 yards, including a diving touchdown at the goal line that instantly became one of the franchise’s most iconic playoff moments. That game helped turn him into a fan favorite in Washington.”
“Heinicke started 15 games in 2021 and helped lead Washington to several key wins during his time with the team, including a 2022 Monday Night Football victory over the previously undefeated Philadelphia Eagles.”
Heinicke also borrowed former Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins‘ chain gimmick in 2022:
NYON, Switzerland — German referee Daniel Siebert was picked Monday by UEFA for the Champions League final after FIFA left him off its World Cup list.
The game between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain on May 30 at Puskas Arena in Budapest will be Siebert’s 10th in the Champions League this season — and the third straight round he will have worked an Arsenal match.
Siebert handled Arsenal’s 1-0 wins at Sporting Lisbon in the quarterfinals first leg, and at home to Atletico Madrid in the semifinals second leg.
He refereed PSG once this season, in a league phase game at Athletic Bilbao that ended 0-0.
In his nine Champions League games this season Siebert has shown two red cards and awarded just one penalty kick.

Ohio State defensive coordinator Matt Patricia has ‘offseason repair,’ posts photo in neck brace
Players are not the only members of Ohio State football getting work done before the 2026 season.
On May 9, Buckeyes defensive coordinator Matt Patricia posted a photo on Instagram in a neck brace and lying on a hospital bed, wearing his signature flat cap with a smile.

“Off-season repairs aren’t just for players. Massive thanks to Dr Viljoen and the Neurological Specialty Care team for taking care of me. Incredible group! So blessed and thankful for you,” Patricia wrote in the post.
Patricia did not reveal details. He thanked Dr. Stephanus Viljoen, an Ohio State neurosurgeon specializing in spinal surgeries and back pain, according to his OSU profile.
Daniel Siebert will referee Paris Saint-Germain v Arsenal in the Champions League final in Budapest.
The German official has been appointed by the Uefa Referees Committee and will be tasked with officiating one of the biggest games in football at the Puskas Arena on Saturday, 30 May.
The 42-year-old has 11 years of experience since beginning his career in 2015 and brings experience from nine Uefa Champions League matches from this season alone.
Siebert was the referee in the quarter-final first leg between Sporting Lisbon and Arsenal, one of two games officiated this term with the Gunners, who ran out 1-0 winners on that night.
He was also in charge in the semi-final second leg between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, another 1-0 win for the Gunners, which will appeal to Gunners fans ahead of the match.
Siebert is yet to show a yellow card to an Arsenal player, and has shown just three yellow cards across both matches. While he has also officiated one PSG match this season; the goalless draw at Athletic Bilbao in December, where he brandished four yellow cards.
Siebert averages more yellow cards on average overall, with 4.44 per game from nine games in the Champions League this term, according to Who Scored, and 0.22 red cards per game. That’s up from his Bundesliga average, from 15 games this term, with 3.20 yellow cards per game and 0.13 red cards per game.
Further experience comes from last year’s Uefa Europa League semi-final between Manchester United and Athletic Bilbao, and he also officiated two games at the Uefa Euro 2024 and three games at Uefa Euro 2020.
Following Arsenal’s victory over West Ham, and the high-profile VAR incident that ruled out Callum Wilson’s equaliser for the Hammers, Mikel Arteta has publicly confessed his admiration for the pressure officials operate under.
Notably Chris Kavanagh and how he observed 17 replays over four minutes and 17 seconds before deciding to rule out the goal due to Pablo’s arm impeding David Raya.
“When I had to be critical, I have been,” Arteta told Sky Sports. “Today I have to congratulate them [VAR]. You needed a lot of courage and bravery to stand out and give the opportunity to the referee to have a look at the action.
“When you see the picture, there is no question that it is a clear foul. They were very brave. The action deserved that. In my opinion, it is very clear. They are the rules and we ask for consistency.”

Knicks fans swarmed the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia for both Games 3 and 4. They got a front-row seat to watch their team sweep their Atlantic Division rival. Knicks fans even went as far as infiltrating local news broadcasts in celebration.
Maxey spoke about the fans in his postgame press conference.
“It absolutely sucks, if I’m being honest. It just sucks,” he said, via SNY TV. “That’s really all I can say about it, man. It’s hard. It’s definitely difficult. It’s only one way to put a stop to it and it’s, we have to go out there and win these games.

“Just being completely honest, we were better when we played them in the Garden this entire season. I know we lost Game 2 and 1, but Game 2 was better. The regular season was better. I was telling them, it felt louder here for them than it did in the Garden.”
He said it was up to the team to drown out the noise.
“We got to put a stop to it as a team,” Maxey added. “Winning these games, that’s gonna make our fans louder than theirs or whatever. I don’t know how to keep them out. I don’t know the logistics of it, but it does suck. I can’t even lie. It definitely does suck.”

It was the eighth time in the last nine playoff appearances that the 76ers haven’t at least made it to the Eastern Conference Finals. Philadelphia hasn’t gotten that far in the postseason since making the 2001 NBA Finals.
Vancouver Canucks legends Daniel and Henrik Sedin could be taking on a larger role with the team’s front office.
On the latest episode of the 32 Thoughts podcast published Monday, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman provided the latest news on the Sedin twins.
“I think Monday could be a big day for the Canucks. Maybe not in terms of an announcement but in terms of an internal decision being made, and possibly an idea of how the structure is going to work,” Friedman said. “I do think the Canucks have asked the Sedins if they want to take more of a role, and how willing they would be in taking a greater role …
“I don’t know what the titles would be in Vancouver if this is accepted, but I do believe that (the Canucks) have talked to the Sedins about taking a larger role, and they were pondering the idea. … I think the Sedins’ role in this could be important if they decide to accept the mission as it’s been presented to them.
“So, I think we’re kind of awaiting two decisions here. No. 1, who the head of hockey operations will be. And, No. 2, are the Sedins willing to take a bigger role? And, you know what, now that they’ve seen how it might work in Toronto — you know, (Mats) Sundin had to move from Sweden to Ontario — the Sedins are already there. It’s not like they would be uprooting their families. So, I think it just comes down to time and how are they feeling. I think it would be a great thing for the Canucks if they get it. Obviously, it’s their decision.”

32 Thoughts: The Podcast
Hockey fans already know the name, but this is not the blog. From Sportsnet, 32 Thoughts: The Podcast with NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman and Kyle Bukauskas is a weekly deep dive into the biggest news and interviews from the hockey world.
The Sedins currently have roles in the Canucks’ player development department, but could look to move up in the organization with Jim Rutherford stepping down as president of hockey operations and Patrick Allvin having been fired as general manager.
The Sedins rank first and second on a number of all-time Vancouver stats lists, including games played, points and assists. They were taken back-to-back by the Canucks with the second and third picks in the 1999 NHL Draft and spent their entire careers in Vancouver.
