Joe Flacco is coming off a career year in which he became the Baltimore Ravens’ all-time leading passer but the Season ended on a bad note (see video) and the Baltimore Ravens have publicly stated that Flacco will not receive a contract extension this year.
Flacco was the Raven’s 1st round draft pick in 2008 and is still has two years remaining on his rookie contract. He has surpassed all of the expectations and truly out performed his contract. However, Flacco remains frustrated that talks on a new contract have not begun; mainly because the NFL lockout has had prohibited contact between the teams and their players during this offseason. Flacco became even more disgruntled when Quarterback coach Jim Zorn was fired earlier this year. "I'm kind of taking it personal," Flacco said. "You're saying that you're not happy with the position. I'm not sure if there is any truth to that, but that's the vibe you're sending to your quarterback. I feel like I'm being attacked."
But it only gets worse for Flacco who is thought to be worried that his new deal is not even a priority for the team. The Ravens recently selected QB Tyrod Taylor in the NFL draft and it is expected that when the lockout ends the Ravens will be scrambling to re-sign players with less than two years left on their contracts. Also, All-Pro defensive tackle Haloti Ngata is due a contract extension before Flacco and is considered by many to be a higher priority. I’d love to see how this one plays out.
