I bet Flacco would of landed them a 1st round pick. Keeping him and having no cap room isn't going to turn out well either.

I would of franchised him for 16 million, prove that you're elite with a bulls eye on your back. He's not the best player in the league. But the Ravens got stuck in a bad situation, because he just won them a Super Bowl IN his contract year. They didn't want him to walk in free agency. I don't blame them, but it's an interesting situation.

There was also talk that other teams would indeed pay the franchise price for Flacco. If you're Andy Reid and the Chiefs, you already have a roster chalk full of under-30 talent and talent offensively. Add Flacco? KC could win a very poor AFC West.
I think KC was the team those rumors we're talking about.

Wilson is getting $549,500 per year on average. So Flacco is making $19,550,500 more than Russell annually or roughly 36.5x the amount. To put it another way, the three extra games that Flacco won over Wilson last year were worth roughly 6.5 million apiece. Lotta folks would trade that for a Super Bowl ring. _________________ I blog, I tweet. When I'm not writing or goofing around on Seahawks.NET.

there's almost no qb that you can afford to pay that much, and build a team around at the same time.
i've always been a big flacco fan. he's got a bit of elusiveness on the scramble, and has always taken a lot of shots downfield (i like that style).
like someone else was sayin' though... 'he's good, but not $20-mil-a-year good'. i'm not sure there's any qb that you would ever want to pay that kind of money.

Ravens | Joe Flacco will be highest-paid player
Mon, 04 Mar 2013 06:31:51 -0800
Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco will be the NFL's highest-paid player at $30 million in 2013, but he'll count just $6.8 million on the salary cap.

Baltimore paid the man. It’s now up to Joe to prove he’s capable of replicating such a feat again. If he does, the Ravens will have no qualms about his new deal. If he struggles, those dollars start to become an onerous weight both in terms of expectations on the shoulders of Flacco as well as on the Ravens salary cap going forward. http://www.downattheone.com/NFL/The-120-million-man

This screams "sign your players before their contract is up" argument. Simply put it's like this, if they had signed him before last year or even during the year, a little bit more than half of this is what they would be paying. Somewhere around 9-11, maybe 12mil per year. This contract is crazy, he is good, but no where near the best in the league and the pressure that will be put on him when he doesn't preform up to his contract could ruin this guys career. Oh well at least it's not us, but we need to re-sign Cam, Sherm and ET, ASAP.

Flacco should give that money to his recievers. They were playing lights out for him in the playoffs. Most throws were just thrown up and the recievers made great catches

Flacco gambled on himself and won.
