ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Baltimore Ravens have agreed to trade quarterback Joe Flacco to the Denver Broncos in exchange for a fourth-round pick in this year’s NFL draft, a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press. In Flacco, the Broncos are turning to a quarterback who broke their hearts six years ago in what’s arguably the lowest point in franchise playoff history. Flacco was the starter last season until he injured his right hip in a loss to Pittsburgh on Nov. 4. The Ravens had a bye the following week, and Jackson took over for the still-ailing Flacco on Nov. 18 against Cincinnati. Flacco was the first starting quarterback since the 1970 merger to win a playoff game in each of his first five years.
