Flacco Contract Status
PFT had a quote from Flacco's agent about the contract talks. It was something to the effect of Joe being happy to play things out on his current deal and see what happens next year. I am still hopeful that something will get done quietly just like it did for Ray Rice. Flacco's price is just going to go up after this season. They know they want to keep him. In this case I think the Ravens are going to have to give in a little more than they would with another player.

Im telling you guys, the deal is already done. They are just going to wait on it until this season sometime or right after the season ends.

Knowing you're playing for the big contract next year is almost always a good thing.

Re: Flacco Contract Status
Maybe Flacco wants to play out this year to drive his price up. Maybe he doesn't want to accept the contract he's maybe been offered because he knows he is likely to have a career year, and there for will demand more money in 2013. Just a thought.

Re: Flacco Contract Status
Honestly, i think you may be right. With the changes to the offense i could see his numbers increasing heavily. Maybe he does too and really, evwn if he gets hurt well still resign him at a similar deal as weve offered at this point anyway. Hes only got something to gain.

Re: Flacco Contract Status
No maybe about it, that is exactly what he is thinking.
If I were the Ravens I would up the guarantee by 5 million and say let's get it done now. If he still won't go for it then at least you made a legit, increased offer. Flacco has next level written all over him this year, and next level equals higher price.
Year 5 is when a lot of QB's start to really get it. And with the weapons Flacco has in place combined with his overall maturation, I think he is going to exceed expectation this year. Even the lofty ones that some have for him.
I hope they make one final push to get it done before the season starts. If he is a 15 mill guy right now, he could easily be a 17-18 one by the end of the year.Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/#!/thenflanalyst

Re: Flacco Contract Status
Yeah I'm sure Flacco and his agent are content to sit on this as the Raven's cap jumps significantly next year. Flacco's agent is all to happy to use a large portion of that.
Conversely, I'm sure that after the last couple of preseason games, Oz and co want this deal done in the similar time frame as Ngata. From now to week 3-4 we may hear something or the price rockets the moon on a weekly basis as Flacco destroys defenses.
