If they tag him with the exclusive tag, there is no possible way they could resign all the players that they would like to lock up. If the non-exclusive tag is placed, the Browns will make an offer to him that the Ravens simply won’t be able to match. Don’t forget, Flacco is the reason the Ravens ended up in the Super Bowl.

He will sign a long term contract heavily backloaded with money he will never see unless he really does become a top 5 QB and brings at least 1 more Superbowl to Baltimore.

Steelers, Ravens (for 2 reasons) and Cincy would all love that move. And Cleveland of course, but only because they’re dumb.

He out played Brady for the 2nd year in a row only this year the Ravens won and out played Manning who’s team was in the game only due to 2 special teams TD’s! He has more play off wins in his 1st 5 years than the elites and topped it off this year with a playoff run and SuperBowl win that included 11 TD’s and 0 interceptions! Haters please sit down now! Flacco is about to get paid!

He has a good team around him. His playoff record is better than his actual performance would indicate. This year he has great numbers but they don’t tell the whole story. He hung several deep balls that should have been picked but for colossal mistakes by the defense. If one of those were picked his great streak would be gone. His receivers turned bad passes into TDs. 4 of his playoff TDs were horrible passes. Non-exclusive tag and take the 2 first rounders if he insists on stupid money.

He never overreacted or panicked too much to the big disappointments of getting deep into the playoffs only to come short.

Unfortunately for the Ravens he brings the same attitude to the contract negotiating table.

If he and his agent thought he was elite and deserved top 5 money before last season and turned down a top 5 contract, what do you think they’ll demand this time around?

Super Bowl MVPs on the right side of 30 don’t have much hometown sympathy, some may say justifiably so.

As such, I just don’t think joe will receive the highest qb money. A consolation prize of extra first round draft picks from the highest bidder via non exclusive tag also fits with ozzie’s philosophy. He covets draft picks.

He needs to have a good team around him in order to be successful. Don’t get me wrong he’s still a good QB though.

Wish my team was in the afc north…
