The Baltimore Ravens gave Joe Flacco franchise-quarterback money a month after he was named Super Bowl MVP. Now it sounds like the team wants a do-over.

In a conference call with season-ticket holders, owner Steve Bisciotti said Wednesday the team would like to re-sign Flacco to a more cap-friendly deal. Flacco signed a six-year, $120.6 million deal in March 2013 and his cap number next season jumps to $28.55 million.

"I'm not real worried about it," Bisciotti said. "I know he wants to stay."

Flacco, who has not missed a game in his first seven years in the league, has never thrown for 4,000 yards or 30 touchdowns despite guiding the Ravens to 10 playoff wins. Flacco will have made more than half of his current contract by the end of the 2015 season.

"We can make it a win-win for Joe," Bisciotti said. "I think he'll be very amendable to a new deal."

As long as it costs him no money, of course he will restructure.

Considering How much they are over paying him, I don't think restructuring is a good idea for him. NFL contracts seem the easiest for the team to break versus a player.

Signing bonuses count against the cap.

His contract was designed to be restructured after 3 years. This is standard.
