Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
Don't pay much attention to RavensRule (Joe Linta) he puts Flacco before the team.
What GM WOULDN'T pay Suggs and Ngata at the time? They earned those contracts just as Flacco has earned the contract he's about to get, stop whining about re-signing elite players, we wouldn't have had this success without them.
I think Flacco deserves a top 3 deal, not sure about the highest paid QB ever, that's too much of a stretch.

Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
Barring injury to either Joe or the key parts of his OL, next season could be the one in which he racks up those big numbers - even with two very productive running backs. This guess is based on the dual assumption that Cam held him back, and that (at least this year) his OL pass protection was poor until Jah Reid got hurt.

Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
There is guaranteed money...and then there is how it is structured to support a team's cap position (which allows them flexibility down the road, if needed).
Flacco and his agent are not going to give a discount on the former (nor should they) and I don't think the Ravens will have a problem cutting a check....but their should be (I hope) enough mutual interest to negotiate the latter.

Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
Suggs and Ngata weren't asking for over 20 million a year either rofl
Its going to be a huge huge challenge for the FO.

Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
It's not a big deal, settle down Francis. I was more or less joking. But since you asked.
How do you know what they offered him? How do you know it was the Ravens that lost? Joe could have gambled as well he could have not had this postseason and had to settle for less.
While there is much that would fall inline with the "inside knowledge" comment. It goes along with my joking that you were Joe Linta. The Falcons did a lot to help Ryan and so did the Ravens to help Joe. Brought in Boldin, resigned Rice, got a deep threat in Torrey, two young athletic Tight ends. Resigned the best guard in the game, Got a stud tackle who is now a guard. So looking at it through an objective view point (not one of Joe's agent) the Ravens have made moves too.
Again, this comes with a view that the Ravens have made no attempt to sign Joe. Or that they are treating him differently than every other franchise player they've signed to a big deal. This is one of the fanbase's main gripe is not signing guys earlier when you could potentially get them cheaper. i.e. Suggs, Ngata etc.

Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
He is only in his fifth year and already setting records. He hasn't entered his prime yet and he's already talked about as one of the best in the league. He's 6, count em', 6 years younger than Brees, and that's nothing compared to Brady and Manning.
Who wouldn't want to be Joe Linta right now?Last edited by The Excellector; 02-06-2013 at 06:00 PM.

Somebody actually has Ozzie by the balls (Negotiation wise)
The Ravens have waited and waited for their franchise QB, hitting and missing on several occasions. He may not be the first guy. Then again, he may very well be the first guy in some arguments. However, the Ravens finally get their franchise QB and he's the one that gets old Oz by the balls in negotiating. There is absolutely no way for Ozzie to escape paying him $20 million a year without losing him and crippling the franchise.

Guy, can we please keep all of these in 1 thread? Seriously we don't need to, 3, 4 different thread on the same thing. We already have a Joe Flacco contract thread.

Re: Ongoing Flacco Contract Negotiations (Merged)
20 million at the maximum, we can't afford to pay anymore than that, no player on this earth deserves more than 20 million a year in the NFL. Even if itw as Joe Montana in his prime, paying him more than 20 million would cripple a franchise.

Re: Somebody actually has Ozzie by the balls (Negotiation wise)
All we can do is hope Joe is willing to to meet in the middle. But he did decline a very reasonable offer and his agent is now campaigning for him to be the highest paid quarterback
