Flacco's agent: He should be the highest paid QB

The player rep for free agent Joe Flacco told CNBC on Tuesday that his client deserves to be the NFL's highest paid quarterback.

Ergo, the highest paid player. "When you do a contract of this magnitude, you look at what is the player's body of work presently," said agent Joe Linta. "And what are the expectations going forward over the next four, five or six years. Joe wins on both accounts." It's no longer news that Flacco is looking to cash in with a monster deal, but Linta's comments suggest negotiations will be no less contentious than they were between the Saints and Drew Brees last year. Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti has already said he expects Flacco's new deal to "probably cost (Baltimore) a couple players."

Matt Ryan could demand more, or the same amount as Flacco. This is going to be fun!

Whoa there cowboy. He shouldn't be the best paid guy. Flacco is barely hitting elite status and he hasn't proved he can do this every single year. Be consistent I mean, not win a super bowl. Although that is the point of the league. I agree that he should be paid handsomely but the top dog? Yeah, no.

Yeah, this will get ugly fast, not sure how much leveraging power Ravens have, after all, he just won a SB.

he's good... but he's not THAT good.

I would play some serious hardball if I were the Ravens on this one. Franchise his ass this year, make him prove that he deserves the money, then pay him what he earns next year.

franchising him would blow up their cap.

making him the highest paid player and spreading it out over the years is actually the best option.

Yeah. This is all going to be fun until Cam's contract is up. These guys along with the Brees contract are driving up the market.

We will pay Cam whatever it takes I'm sure, but I am anxious to see how much that is going to be.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Amazing what the prospect of being traded to Carolina will do for contract negotiations.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
