THAT IS WHY HE IS ONE OF THE BEST GMs in football. There will not be a holdout, it is just going to take until more contracts in front of him and behind him are done. Don't make a story out of nothing if you do not understand how the rookie signing process works. The Quinn holdout was the product of a one time suspected #1 overall dropping like hell. And qb's like Jamarcus have all the bargaining power in the world because no one was taken in front of them. (shakes head at your morons)

Joe will be nailed to the Raven's pine holding a clipboard while Troy Smith shows people why he should have been drafted higher. As a rookie he hadn't thrown a pick, had a rating of 80 and could use his legs when in trouble.

Let him sit out and get used to riding the pine for the forseeable future. Baltimore needs a QB that wants to play instead of wanting to get paid first.

Ozzie & Billick couldn't find a decent quarterback for years on end. There is no threat to Flacco here. He should get the best deal he can get. Letting the new Ravens regime have another big helping of Kyle Boller magic during training camp will only strenghten Flacco's negotiating position. It's almost like PFT is trying to spook draft choices into signing as quickly as possible. I've yet to see this site recommend that a player sit tight and ask for more money. It's even disagreed on players getting to reap the benefits from contracts they have previously negotiated and which franchises now have to pay on, i.e., the Larry Fitzgerald contract. Flacco should get the best deal possible since the franchise is surely going to get as many years as they can. Since an NFL franchise is a very large entity with a lot of sophistication and experience in the contract negotiations process, it is unwise to be hasty or needlessly leave money on the table. If a franchise does not think they are getting value for the contract, they can cut the player. If the player believes he has performed beyond the pay scale in his contract, he cannot simply void his deal. I don’t agree. Ozzie & Billick couldn’t find a decent quarterback for years on end.
