Dude if the Ravens want to give Flacco Drew Brees type money when he plays closer to Alex Smith and thus put the Ravens in the hole against the cap, by all means go for it. Put Joe Flacco on the Saints and they're picking top-5 every year. Give Drew Brees a defense ranked in the 24-28 range and they're a legit Super Bowl threat. My bigger point was and I think the same for Brees and any of them, is it's hard to say you're about winning and the team when you as 1/53 of the team take up 1/6 of the cap. Flacco has all the leverage, he can basically demand $20+ million a year because someone like Arizona or Buffalo or Cleveland will pay the two first and the $20 million per. And if you're Baltimore and someone wants to do that, especially any of those three teams where it makes it likely it could be at least one top 10 pick, you smile and say thanks for everything Joe.
