Re: Ongoing Flacco Contract Negotiations (Merged)
I believe BMoreravor already pointed this out in a recent article but the ravens could still slap the exlusive franchise tag on Flacco at the price of a non exclusive franchise tag until April 19th. Give us some more time to make a deal.
By the way I think PFT stole this story from BMoreravor:)

Re: Ongoing Flacco Contract Negotiations (Merged)
Maybe not- but that has nothing to do with the immediate problem.
If they don't get a contract written before the free-agency date, THEY WILL HAVE TO CUT PEOPLE TO GET UNDER THE $120 Million CAP! So regardless if Flacco PLAYS under the Franchise tag in September- it's the fact that we have to be under the salary cap come March, and his $20 Million tag value would count against the cap until a contract is resolved- the contract needs to get done before the first day of the league year if we don't want more free agents than we already have- and have to cut valuable players.

Re: Ongoing Flacco Contract Negotiations (Merged)
He will count as $14.6m until April 19th, at which point the Exclusive tag is calculated, and then we'd have 48 hours to fit it under that.
Not a huge difference, but one indeed. I think we have 8 days to get under the cap after the tag is first applied in the first place.

Re: Ongoing Flacco Contract Negotiations (Merged)
The deal will be done before March. Everyone wants to get it done sooner then later

At this point, still looks like the meat-and-potatoes of the Flacco/Ravens negotiations will start in Indy -- Next Thursday at the earliest

@dpbrugler: The #Chiefs have already paid QB Matt Cassel $40.5 million over the first three years of a six-year deal... #Mindblown
Can't really complain about flacco getting paid when you see cassel getting this much money
