Joe Flacco came up big at the best possible time. As he heads into unrestricted Free agency I'll be very interested to see the haul he gets. Apparently he was asking for $17M/Yr last year and now some think he can fetch $20M/Yr over the life of a new deal There's no way the Ravens can let him go after this playoff run so they're gonna have to overpay him. The quetion is how much will they have to overpay him???

"He's now made a case for $20 million a year," Clayton said on SportsCenter Monday. "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. ... (We'll) see if he can get over Drew Brees' contract. I think he can." Mortensen agrees that an annual $20 million is "not unreachable" for the Ravens' quarterback. It would be a ludicrous sum of money for a player with Flacco's solid but unspectacular regular-season résumé, but his dominating postseason and barren state of the QB position around the league have left him with leverage to spare. If Flacco is intent on playing $20 million hardball, the Ravens may opt to slap him with the $14.642 million franchise tag.
