If we don't get a ring this upcoming year, we will have a dry next couple year. Yanda, Osemele, Jimmy, Upshaw and Will Hill all FA's next offseason.
he knows the deal, the FO knows the deal. the fo are no dummies, they have that contract set up so that we hold the leverage, he either extends, or refuses and gets released and runs the risk of getting paid less/only getting good offers from horrible teams. joe flacco is no dummy either, he knows whats best for him, and he is a team first guy
agreed^
Joe is not like Donovan McNabb who instantly melted when his money arrived. Now if we do get a ring...guess what happens? Like rowboats off the Titanic
