Joe Flacco's New Deal

[Broad Street]

AT LEAST worth over $100 million with AT LEAST $60 million guaranteed. 

 

Is he worth it? I don't think so. I think the Ravens just screwed themselves by committing so much money to one person.

[bloodbrother]

He'll get to enjoy being the highest paid player in the NFL for about a few months until Rodgers gets his new deal from GB

[Brandon]

Props on strapping the team.

[St1ck]

He's decent, but worth that amount of cash. 

[Brent Maguire]

That deal is absurd.

[bloodbrother]

They were cornered. They win the SB....they had to give in to what he wanted, even if he really is only a decent QB and not a truly elite one

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

They weren't cornered into making him the highest paid QB in NFL history. No way is he worth that but not my team so good job Ravens.

[nando714]

it's all about the signing bonus in the NFL.

 

They'll restructure his deal almost year to year like they do most high paid players to fit the salary cap.

Wow, they should have signed him before the start of last season. They rolled the dice and lost. It is very difficult to repeat and I think the Ravens have little to no shot at doing so. Frankly, they should have lost to Denver if not for the worst closing route I have ever seen a DB take.

[bloodbrother]

Part of his signing bonus was given to Rahim Moore

He peaked at the right time.  That is insane money.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

That's a lot of guaranteed money for an NFL deal.

I wonder what the deal would have been if they had lost to Denver.

Haha and the chargers defense (4th & 29)

[Ray McKigney]

Why didn't Trent Dilfer get this sort of deal?

[ELEVEN]

Dilfer has gotta be pissed.

We are a results driven society. This kid has won a playoff game in each of his first 5 seasons. Including 6 on the road. Look what he did against the vaunted defense of San Francisco in the Super Bowl. Results over style. Bottom line is winning and Flacco has given the Ravens a chance to win every year for 5 years.
