After reading yet another offseason complaint of Joe Flacco’s contract, I’m writing this to hopefully dismiss the negativity of Joe Flacco’s contract, even if the deal is too much. While some say this was, ‘The contract that clipped the wings from Baltimore,’ I’d like to remind them all Flacco hoisted a Lombardi Trophy for the Ravens.
During the end of 2012-2013, the Baltimore Ravens were playing and fighting for a Wildcard spot. During the stretch, Joe Flacco and his agent declined an offer around the ballpark of $90 million. The deal sat around $15m per year.
