Ravens Sign New Backup QB for Flacco

The Baltimore Ravens announced Tuesday that the team has signed Matt Schaub as a new backup quarterback for Joe Flacco.

Schaub, 33, signed a one-year contract worth $3 million, sources told ESPN.

He comes to the Ravens from the Raiders and also has played for the Falcons and Texans.

The veteran with 11 years of experience “will continue to help Flacco grow...” the Ravens reported.

As backup quarterback, Schaub will replace Tyrod Taylor, who signed a two-year contract with the Buffalo Bills in March after four seasons backing up Flacco without a single start, according to The Baltimore Sun.

Flacco has started 112 games straight, only eclipsed in consecutive regular-season starts by Eli Manning and Philip Rivers, ESPN reports.
