-saw Joe Flacco being interviewed by an ESPN guy on TV yesterday.
-monster game by the Superbowl MVP!

Joe is gonna cash in with a new contract with the Ravens now that he's a free agent.
Props to the quarterback for a big game on Sunday.

He deserves every penny in his new contract based on his playoff performance.
11 touchdowns, zero interceptions in the post season for Joe.

-definitely think that Baltimore will give Flacco the franchise tag. Here is what Flacco's agent thinks about the new contract:

Last week, Flacco's agent, Joe Linta, said he and Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome recently had brief discussions about a new deal, but nothing was done.

"The onus is on them to make a move after this week," said Linta, who recognizes that the Ravens could slap the franchise tag on Flacco for 2013 at a cost of about $14.6 million. "I would guess they want to keep him. He's 28, in the prime of his football life, has never missed a game. His resume on the table is outstanding and his future is even brighter."

How much should the Ravens pay Flacco? Is he worth as much as Drew Brees? Brees signed a 5 year, 100 million contract. My guess is somewhere in the range of 18 to 19 million US per year for Flacco.
