Joe Flacco wants $20 million per season. Is he worth it? Well Flacco may not look like Drew Brees or Aaron Rodgers when he throws the ball, and he certainly doesn't look like RG3 or Russell Wilson when he runs, but Flacco is a winner, and the Ravens can't afford to let him walk away.
According to ESPN's John Clayton on Jan. 28, via the inquisitr:
“He’s now made a case for $20 million a year and I think he’s gonna try to hold to that. Last season what I was hearing was he was asking for about $17 million. … But he was saying ‘okay fine, let me play this out.’ Now he’s in a position to make big money. And we’ll see if he can get over Drew Brees’ contract. I think he can.”
Well Joe, think of the Super Bowl as your lottery ticket. If Flacco and the Ravens beat the 49ers he will get his asking price. Even if Baltimore should lose this Sunday, the Ravens will have to meet him half way.
Flacco has quietly been one of the best QBs in the AFC for the last five season. He has gone 54-26 as a starting QB and has led the Ravens to 12 playoff games, including this year's Super Bowl.
It may sound funny, but at $20 million per season, the Ravens can't afford to let Flacco walk!
If worst comes to worst for the Ravens they could always franchise tag Flacco, but that's probably not what either side wants to do.
