Flacco Makes Bank

[amazingGRACE]

@AdamSchefter: Joe Flacco and Ravens agreed to a six-year contract in excess of $120 million that makes him the highest paid player in NFL history.



I've always said he was better than people gave him credit for but geez..he's not worth that much.

 

[Cdywolfe]

Wow... He's worth maybe half that. Good for him though I suppose. Even better for the 6-7 qbs that're clearly better next time their contact is up.

 

[milohimself]

Glad he's getting paid.

 

[YankeeVol]

Does he deserve it? Probably not

Am I mad at him for taking it? Hell No!

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Ain't worth it. But make that paper.

 

[MG1968]

maybe he'll buy the team new pants that don't look like women's stirrup pants

 

[Vegas_Ferguson]

Got the leverage, dip your bread in that gravy while its hot!

 

[VolBuck24]

Timing is everything. I'm glad he's getting paid though.

You are worth whatever someone is willing to pay you.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

He's getting paid!

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Tremendous payday. Bet he got one hell of a direct deposit.

Wonder what it would have been if we had not blow the Super Bowl.

 

[volmaverick]

Glad he's getting paid.

But u not glad Exxon CEO gets paid

 

[GAVol]

The sound you hear is Matt Ryan giggling uncontrollably.

 

[n_huffhines]

Good for the rest of the AFC. Flacco will lose more frequently when his team can't afford an elite supporting cast.

But u not glad Exxon CEO gets paid

I think he should donate that Corvette he was gifted by GM to a child in need, now that he can afford to buy the factory it was built in.


I am that child in need.

 

[volfanCLT]

I have a feeling in 3 years we will look back at this wayyyy to much money for Joe

 

[Nerd-Vol]

I have a feeling in 8 months we will look back at this wayyyy to much money for Joe

Fify

Blown it? Am I sensing some bitterness? You were very fortunate to be there in the first place. This is how sports works.


WTF Ravens?

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

The 49ers messed up continually, starting with that penalty on our first play (which was a twenty yard pass). Mad we lost, yes. Bitter about it or Flac getting paid, hell no. We will be back again.

 

[Thrasher865]

I meant you were fortunate that Atlanta choked away the NFCCG for you guys.

 

[VolBuck24]

Great deal for both sides. He only counts 6.8 million against the cap this year and 14 million next year.

 

[n_huffhines]

Honestly, the only reason Flacco got out of the 2nd round of the playoffs was because of excellent protection, and about 4 blown coverages. Wonder what his pay raise would have been if he had failed to make CCG.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Weird game. They blew us out, and then we blew them out. We just did it at the right time (2nd half, as opposed to the 1st).
Hoping like hell that they do not get Steven Jackson though. That plus TG coming back will make them even tougher to beat. But we match with anyone. Not scared at all.

Take a look at the free agent qb list an you realize Baltimore was just screwed. He had all the leverage. Matt Moore, Chase Daniel, David Garrard, Derek Anderson, Jason Campbell, Brady Quinn, Rex Grossman just to name a few, but those are the high profile free agent qbs this year.

They could have hoped to trade for Matt Cassel, Matt Flynn, or Nick Foles, but that's about it.

Qb market sucks bigtime this off-season.
