Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Joe Flacco has joined the Cincinnati Bengals after a trade, marking a significant shift in his NFL career. The move to Ohio has brought new challenges, as Flacco now finds himself adjusting to life away from his family, who remain in New Jersey. Despite the transition, Flacco has expressed a personal appreciation for the lone moments he’s experiencing in his new home.
Flacco revealed that one of his ways to enjoy his solitude has been by taking himself to a restaurant by himself, something he once found himself feeling sympathy towards. Now, he’s realized the joys that come with being alone. Despite the distance from his family, Flacco has been able to find comfort and fulfillment in the unique experience of being away from home. He recently mentioned that while it’s better to be at home with his family, if one has to be alone, they should make the most of it.
Flacco’s new life in Cincinnati appears to have a positive effect on his mindset, as he continues to adjust and find joy in his unique situation. The Bengals have received a sixth-round draft pick in the trade for Flacco, while the Browns picked up a fifth-round pick. Flacco has since played in just two games with his new team, with his family set to reunite with him during the New York Jets’ road game against the Bengals. His performance has been promising, with a 342-yard passing display in a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
