He will be in the top five in 2013 if he doesn't restructure.

The argument from many (mostly Falcons fans) on this site is that Brees's contract somehow cripples the Saints, and that if Flacco gets a big contract (one that I do not believe he deserves, but that's the market...), the Ravens will be crippled.

I don't buy that reasoning, because other successful teams have invested similar portions of their cap in the QB position.

My point of contention is not whether the QB is worth 20 million per. Rather, it's about whether Flacco is. Because of the market and the franchise tag rules, he will get somewhere in that ballpark. I believe that the Ravens will pay that and that they will be overpaying him.

I think so too and unless these teams, excluding the big 4, consistently find impact players after the first round they're effed


Brees put up back to back 40 TD seasons with

Colston
Moore
Henderson
Meachem
Morgan
Graham

No way flacco can do that even with a great group of skill players that they won't be able to afford because he's 1/6 of their cap

And we're not even talking about defense. Once you pay $20 million you have little room for error with the rest of your deals.
