Flacco's agent thinks he should be the highest paid Q.B.

Here's hoping the whole issue turns out to be a long holdout situation for the Ravens.

Shocker.

The Ravens would be stupid not to work out a deal with him.

 

I think the ravens should pay him about $40 million a year!

 

It will help the Steelers. Flacco won't leave but with a 20 million a year contract, it's going be hard keeping good players around you to be good. But if base current QB's on super bowl wins, you have Brady, Ben, and Eli would be you highest paid QB's.

But props to Flacco on the gamble, he was offered extension last summer, didn't take it. By winning the Super Bowl he added at least 4-5 million a year to his contract. That took some risk doing that but boy did it payoff for him and his agent.

 

He actually should be the highest paid QB, not because he's the best QB in the league, but because this is the way contracts in pro sports work. In all likelihood, he'll be the highest paid QB in the league...until Aaron Rodgers gets his deal, then he'll be the highest paid in the league. Then the next 2-3 big name QB's to sign will be the highest paid, and before long, Flacco will drop to 5th highest paid QB.

 

So basically you're saying that the other qbs WANT Flacco to get the big payday because they know if he does and then they out perform him they will be able to try and demand just as much? They sorta want him to set the precedent. I'd say you're not far off.
