OTTAWA — The Ottawa REDBLACKS have signed American quarterback Tom Flacco.
The six-foot-one, 205-pound pivot from Voorhees N.J. played his college football at Towson. The 26-year-old was signed by the Saskatchewan Roughriders in January of this year. He was one of the team’s final cuts at the conclusion of training camp.
He’ll join the team when he’s cleared COVID protocols.
