Ongoing Flacco Contract Negotiations (Merged)
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...w-brees-money/
might or might not get it
“He’s now made a case for $20 million a year,” Clayton said. “And I think he’s gonna try to hold to that. Last season what I was hearing was he was asking for about $17 million. … But he was saying ‘okay fine, let me play this out.’ Now he’s in a position to make big money. And we’ll see if he can get over Drew Brees’ contract. I think he can.”

Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
I'd love to know where they got this from. From all indications there have been no talks about contract from either side regarding Flacco.
He may be looking for that, but I haven't heard anything about either side discussing it.

Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
yeah, clarification, it doesn't say he DID ask for it, it says he COULD ask for it.

“When I think of a Baltimore Raven - we go in there, we take your lunch box, we take your sandwich, we take your juice box, we take your applesauce, and we take your spork and we break it. And we leave you with an empty lunch. That’s the Baltimore Raven way.” - Steve Smith Sr.

Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
JFC - $20M/yr? You'd think, 'No way'.
But, (hopefully) he brings the Lombardi home on Sunday, then what? Can the FO say, 'No'?

Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
If he wins a SB then he will have all the leverage, if he doesn't, then who knows.

Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
He has all of the leverage anyway. Winning the SB would just be icing on the already tasty-delicious cake.
Also, Clayton is speculating what Flacco "MIGHT" ask for...The Ravens were already interested in giving him close to $16-17 mill per year (rumored number was $96 mill over 6 years). So, it isn't a stretch to think that Flacco could see that number rise.
I'd also like to remind everyone about the number of media pundits who claimed that Rice was looking to get an Adrian Peterson-esque deal.
The reality is the media knows jack squat until it happens.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

“I’m told his camp believes he is playing better than Peyton Manning,” Rapoport said, referring to the NFL MVP favorite and future Hall of Famer, who pulls in $19.2 million a year. “Expect them to shoot higher than that.” It’s expected that the Ravens and Flacco will resume contract deliberations immediately after Sunday’s Super Bowl.

Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
I saw this myself. Not sure what to make of it, but there IS the fact that Flacco did, you know, outplay Manning when they met head to head a few weeks ago. The same Manning who is watching the SB from his couch. He obviously hasn't done it at a sustained level, though.

Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
Win on Sunday and we can talk, Joe. Otherwise 6/100 sounds more than fair.

Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
He'll get at least 18mil/year without a doubt. It wouldn't surprise me if he ended up getting 20 mil. 6 year 120 mil or 5 year 100.
