The Denver Broncos are releasing Joe Flacco with a failed physical designation.

Flacco was placed on injured reserve last season with a herniated disk in his neck. Flacco will become an unrestricted free agent. 

Flacco was 2-6 as Denver's starting quarterback in 2019, throwing for 1,822 yards with six touchdowns and five interceptions.

The Broncos will save just over $10 million against the cap by releasing Flacco.
