Joe Flaccos Contract

[jmckinney]

they need to sign him as bad as ray rice he very good we need to try and keep him somehow

[BmorBirds]

Did you really make the same stupid thread 2 days in a row?

[Moderator 3]

Joe has another year on his contract.

[Ravenslifer]

Rice signed a 4 year deal so his is up after this season. Flacco signed a 5 year deal. They'll get Rice done first, and then move on to Flacco.

[cursona pirate]

Dont worry about bro, he will be here for many more years..

[PeRK82]

If i had to pick between the 2, id pick Flacco everytime.

[Guest Moderator 6]

We can't forget about Ben Grubbs, either.

[RivenHale]

The only way Joe gets away is if his arm literally falls off. We're keeping him. It's Grubbs and Rice I worry about - Rice less so, since he seems like he wants to stay here and Ozzie obviously wants to keep him so they should be able to come to terms. But we all saw what happened when we lost Grubbs - our O-line was disastrous.

But hey: In Ozzie we trust, boys. Remember that.

[ChrisRyan]

I have a feeling we are going to sign grubbs in the offseason (look at our line with and without him) and franchise Rice

[BloodRaven]

Grubbs before Rice.

Protein before carbohydrates.

Exactly.

[Fricknmaniac]

Well Rice is going to get franchise tagged, which means it'll be easy enough to negotiate with Grubbs first, assuming we have the cap room.

[JacktheRaven]

I agree, they have to sign Grubbs, Rice, and Joe. Everyone can't make 9 mill a year though.

[BloodRaven]

Just curious, what can we expect to pay Flacco based on market value?

[JoeCool#5]

Joes contract will not break the bank. I think Joe will demand somewhere around Kolb's contract - 6 years - 60 million. I wouldnt be suprise if its under that for he is a team player and give the Ravens a hometown discount considering he is from Jersey.

[True]

He'll probably get a 6-7 year $70-80 million dollar deal with the actual value of the contract around 55-60 million so they'll have him until 32-33 years of age and then based on health and ability they'll give him that second big contract afterwards.

Thats a good guess and fair to both partys. His value to this Org. is more than any other. He has the confidence and respect of the players. Can't put a price on that. My personal opinion " He reminds me of another QB in this town a couple years back." Not as polished Yet, but soon to come. Watch how he strides to the field . With the confidence of someone who knows what to do. I for one feel good about the QB position in Baltimore for years to come. Anybody with me?

I'm guessing around 6 years 75 mil.

[The Raven]

6-7 years, 65-75 million. Somewhere in that range.

[frezeal33]

We'll sign them both back easily. You know they don't want to leave, and we don't want them to leave.

[jmckinney]

i think we should wait whats are cap room this season? then i can decied

[redrum52]

Don't see them letting him walk. The thing though is the Ravens seem to like players playing out their contract before discussing or really negotiating. He will be taken care of if hes patient.
