Flacco sure does have an enormous ego doesn't he? One good postseason aided by the fact that his O-line has been allowed to hold every single play thus netting him the best protection of his playoff career and all of a sudden he wants Drew Brees. Of course us Steeler fans should hope he gets paid more and then gets content with the money and loses motivation to improve as a QB.
I hope that he breaks the bank and really screws up the Ravens salary cap.

Earlier Monday, we passed along news that quarterback Joe Flacco will target Drew Brees money in post-season contract negotiations with the Ravens. Flacco’s rookie deal is up, and he’s not giving them a hometown discount.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network filed a Monday evening report on Total Access that makes Flacco’s stance seem even stronger and more dug in.
“I’m told his camp believes he is playing better than Peyton Manning,” Rapoport said, referring to the NFL MVP favorite and future Hall of Famer, who pulls in $19.2 million a year. “Expect them to shoot higher than that.” It’s expected that the Ravens and Flacco will resume contract deliberations immediately after Sunday’s Super Bowl.
Wow!
Next time someone bitches about Ben's attitude remember this tool!

Or maybe Flacco throws 2 interceptions right into the hands of 49er players, singlehandedly loses the game, receives no consideration for a new contract, signs a massive contract to a team like the Jaguars, and then plays miserably
I hope the Ravens are dumb enough to pay him that much.
You know what's funny? Do you think any team that's not the Ravens would even consider paying him anywhere close to $20M as a free agent? I didn't think so either.
See you Space Cowboy ...
pay him
He is doing car commercials for local tv down here in West Palm Beach.
All Defense!
Hmmm... methinks somebody's startin' to believe his own press

Let's hope he consumes so much cap spacce, baltimore becomes unable to keep a lot of good players, the supporting cast deteriorates and therefore so does flacco's play
Most of that is agent chatter. They may shoot for Brees money, doesn't mean you get it.
I am sure anything he is selling has a built in choke.

Why West Palm Beach?
JaMarcus wants Drew Brees money, too. Actually, he has about the same skills as Flacco. Baltimore should just sign him.

what is the old saying ? wish in one hand and shit in the other and see what happens first ......
if the Ravens give him Brees money they also need to look into having Ozzie Newsome committed
suddenly all your arguments become invalid.
Flacco thinking about the dough before the game is even played. Not smart.
Better be careful, Bert. The spotlight is on YOU Sunday, and "Bad Joe" is waiting to come out.

Go ahead Ravens, tie up a large portion of your salary cap to an overrated QB who always relies on luck and his teammates
Im not a Flacco supporter but if he wins today the market is what it is, 54-26 in five yrs playoffs each yr and if they win tonight super bowl champ and if somehow he is MVP of the game hes going to get paid, and hes only 28.
ravens reportedly already offered him 16 mill a year ... he is shooting for 20 ............
