Around the NFL Off - Season style.

One thing I've realized about football that separates it from other sports is that while there are plenty of good predictors of future performance, past performance isn't always the strongest. If you're talking about basketball, baseball, or hockey, it almost always is. In this way, football is different.

If you put a dollar value on Flacco's first five years in the league, he'd come in right around the $40 mil range. But I think his next five should be at least double that. And then when you get in to relative value of last years of contract, this contract ends up coming out pretty equal for both sides.

Three years from now, Flacco will still be one of the top five paid quarterbacks in the league, but not by much. In performance, he'll likely be one of the top five quarterbacks in the league, but again, not by much. Given that, the valuation seems pretty spot on by both sides.

Or in short, I agree with Dirtbag.

Flacco earned the contract he got. Good for him.

Never thought I'd say it, mistake by Ozzie Newsome. Highest paid player in NFL history? not close

I think Ozzie knows what he' doing.

So you would risk losing a QB that has led the team to multiple playoff appearances and just won a Super Bowl, just to say that you didn't overpay him? I'm sorry but I think Flacco had all the bargaining chips on this contract discussion.

No, and I didn't say that.

I said he was being overpaid. Joe will be the higest paid player in the NFL next year, and will certainly not be the best player in the NFL. Thus in my opinion he will be overpaid.

With that being said, due to the gamble the Ravens took by not locking him up prior to this, they were forced to pay him the big bucks. I agree with the move, but I think he's being overpaid.

Hopefully they will replace him with someone even worse. The Boys have so many problems up front on both sides of the ball, perhaps they will overlook safety.

Saw this coming. Word is Cowboys interviewed Kenny Vaccaro at the Combine and liked what they saw and heard. Rumors of course, but they might be targeting him in April.

I am confident Jerra' will do the............right thing.
