per ESPN just now
I get he had them bent over, but geez...
Highest ever? Really?! Rewind six games. Was he even going to be top-10 now?
elite.
Stupid. 6 years, 120.6 million.
Clearly still in the throws of post Super Bowl ecstasy.
Flacco will make an average of $168,908 each day of the regular season for the next six years.
Autocorrect on phone.
It's always doing this to me.
They just put 1/6 their payroll into a QB who a week prior to the playoffs was being discussed as a disappointment.
Not as bad as paying romo anything over $2 a game.
He got raped by that redskins d
As a raven fan I agree. He played like a pussy in the regular season but played a uva postseason. Its hard to fall in love with the guy, kind of feels like eli manning in some ways. Its going to be hard to be efficient next year especially if they dont keep boldin.
He's always been solid in the post season and that's all that matters.
He's a good QB, but winning a Super Bowl doesn't make you elite. Maybe he's close, but he's not 20-per good. 12-15, sure, but he's effectively eaten up half Baltimores offensive payroll. Crazy.
Sure, but he's more than tripled his cost. How effective will he be with 13 million fewer worth of weapons?
He'll be exposed without Boldin.
Sad. Greedy bas just killed the Ravens.
wtf lol...good for him horrible for the Ravens.
rofl, lol, lmao, etc
The Ravens will be fine, I think. But I'm not happy about this deal.
I've been very adamant about how awful this new elite movement has been to teams' mindsets, and I think it got to Bisciotti here. He pretty much torpedoed his team's negotiating position.
Ozzie will make it work, though. Boldin's not going anywhere, though. From what I hear, Flacco's first-year cap number will be less than $10 Million. Even with Boldin and the other players, the Ravens have a few million left. If they extend Boldin and Jones and cut Leach, they'll have enough to sign some good players.
There's no reason to think the Ravens won't be near the top of the AFC for the next couple of seasons.
First, he's not losing Boldin for a couple of seasons.
Second, I think people are assuming that Boldin was bailing Flacco out more than he was. Many of the miracle catches by Boldin were from designed passes. While a lesser receiver would not have made that catch, Flacco would not have tried that throw to a lesser receiver. Also, Boldin has had his share of key drops.
Boldin was great in the post-season, but I think people are overrating his usual impact. He's highly inconsistent.
This isn't surprising...especially after he was crying to the media last January about not getting enough credit when the team wins.
The Ravens regretted this as soon as the ink dried.
He didn't give himself the deal.
He could have asked for less money to make the team better.
