Joe Flacco Celebrated His New $120.6 Million Dollar Contract with Chicken Nuggets at McDonald’s Drive-Thru

All, Food, Football, NFL, Obviously Michael Shamburger March 5th. 2013, 10:23am

Joe Flacco ordering chicken nuggets at McDonalds drive-thru Joe Flacco is known for his cannon arm, boring personality, Super Bowl ring, and $120 million contract. Did you also know he had an affinity for fast food? Flacco celebrated his new ridiculous contract by rolling through McDonald’s and ordering some chicken nuggets.

“I kept saying to the people I work with, ‘Doesn’t that look like Joe Flacco?,’ ” Sherry Norman said. “And then he turned towards the window and it was him.”

I’m not positive, but I believe Tom Brady celebrated his lucrative deal last week with a trip to Wendy’s (Baconator, of course). My guess is Dwight Howard will hit Burger King this summer when he signs his next contract.

I doubt either of them will stare at their money like Flacco, though.

After McDonald’s, Flacco headed over to SuperCuts and had them do a little yardwork on the ol’ unibrow.

They key is to remember that the totals being reported only serve the agent when he’s trying to show off his skills to potential new clients…if he reverts to being Joe Flacco they’re not on the hook for even half of it

Let’s put this simply: Joe Flacco’s six-year, $121-million contract is actually for three years and $62 million.
One day the grand totals of NFL deals will stop being reported, since the later years are more or less imaginary. (Remember, NFL contracts aren’t “contracts” in the most common sense.) Flacco’s massive deal with the Ravens looks enormous, and ostensibly makes him the highest paid player in football. But it’s as much of a fantasy as any long-term deal worked out in the salary cap era.
Pro Football Talk points out that year four comes with a cap hit of $29 million, meaning there’s about zero chance the Ravens enter that season with Flacco still on this current deal. They’ll re-negotiate, just like how seemingly every other quarterback is currently restructuring for more cap flexibility.
In the meantime, it’ll be a pretty lucrative three years for Flacco. He gets an immediate $29 million signing bonus, and unless he suffers a catastrophic injury, all $62 million will be paid out, largely in the cap-friendly form of option bonuses. Joe Flacco is Baltimore’s quarterback of the future—or at least until 2016.

Exactly. This contract amounts to a whole lot of fluff. And several Flacco deadpans.

Cowboy, your work (as always) is thorough and insightful. However, even three years, $62M seems like an awful lot for Flacco.
Put it like this: if the Ravens still win the SB, but Flacco has an average day statwise, is he even worth the $62M?
IMO, it’s an “afterglow” signing. The team won, he had a pretty good year, he’s the QB, so he gets the lion’s share of the credit. He needs to cut Anquan Boldin, Torrey Smith and Ray Rice big checks, right away.

It’s a very cap friendly 62 million though, and honestly he had one hell of a playoff run. I’m sure that number is lower if the 49ers can run a competent goalline offense when it matters, but again consider Sanchez’s contract, this one really is pretty team friendly.

He needs to give half of it to Anquan Boldin for catching 27 jumps balls while draped by DBs.

I’m very, very late to the refi conversation earlier, but I have to ask…. I currently have a 30 year fixed at 4.25%. Ive always heard it’s not wortrh refinancing unless you drop a full point. Is this true, and what are the current refi rates? Yes, I’m a dumbass, so just answer the question if you know.

that is what I have always heard as well. I did a re-fi with a HARP back late last summer and dropped it about 1.5% points. if you are at 4.25% you will have a tough time getting a full point below that IMO.

There are refi breakeven calculators around if you want to check them out. They’re mostly accurate in my experience. I just closed on a refi through HARP last week, and went from 6.125 to 3.5 APR. Made a huge difference to me. Lower payment on a shorter term.
