Joe Flacco is Now Going to Stick it to Steve Bisciotti In Contract Negotiations

Deion Sanders says that Joe Flacco is now a $100 million man. Joe Flacco, joking around, said that he just told Steve Bisciotti that he was going to stick it to him in contract negotiations. In all honesty, is there any player who improved their stock so much so quickly? Flacco’s contract is going to be a big subject all offseason. He may not be consistently in the class of the top five quarterbacks, but he is coming to market at exactly the right time.

He doesn’t have to be top 5 to be franchise worthy. If you’re franchise worthy, you’re worth franchise money.

I agree… I think… but do you think the rest of the league values him as much? Or is in a position to pay a lot of money for a QB?

How do the Buffalo/KC caps look, and would Flacco really go those places? Might take a bit of bluffing to get the money, especially with a cheaper alternative in Alex Smith available to those who haven’t ever seen Smith play. Wouldn’t mind a post recapping teams needing QBs, and which would be in the market for a high-priced QB.

The Cardinals can release Kevin Kolb by March 1 without having to pay him additional money. That’s 1. Philly is another off the top.

What would Chip Kelly want with Flacco? I don’t think Kelly is going all in on a mobile QB but Flacco is basically on the opposite end of the spectrum.

The Bills have too much tied up in Fitzpatrick (not to mention making Mario Williams the highest paid defensive player in league history).

If the Ravens let Flacco go they’re braindead. This isnt like letting Dilfer go in 2001. They have a young QB who has won a title, they could be competing for Super Bowls over the next decade – why introduce an element of QB instability. They’re not a defense-first team anymore. Give him whatever he wants.

Chip Kelly’s offense is about equal parts pace and running QB. He can run his offense without having a running QB as long as he maintains pace. It’s moot, because the Ravens are giving Flacco his money.

I hope they pay him so much they can’t sign half their other free agents.

Whatever he gets, Jacoby Jones should get one dollar more than it as compensation for having to bail him out on underthrown wide open TDs.
