Re: Ravens want Rice, Flacco might have to wait
Until this year, I don't think that was true. His progression over his 1st 3 years was solid. This year, he has regressed a bit (although not as much as some want to make it out to be, IMO). The question for the Ravens is whether that is a trend or an aberration?
While I think they know he has some warts, I do think that they do believe in him. As such, there is no reason to let him play out his contract. Doing so would put them at his mercy as a pending FA - either give me what I want or tag me. Neither of those options would be appealing from a Cap perspective.
So, IMO, it needs to get done before the start of next season. It can wait for now (being Feb-May), but needs to get done over the summer. They've told him they want to re-sign him, but he's got to wait (like everyone else). The summer should be the end of that wait.
