According to the Baltimore Sun, the Ravens still haven't decided if they will use the exclusive franchise tag or less cumbersome non-exclusive tag. The non-exclusive tag would allow Flacco to negotiate with other clubs, though any team that signs Flacco to an offer sheet would have to surrender two first-round picks if the Ravens chose not to match. There's a wide belief around the league Flacco would draw interest if slapped with the non-exclusive tag. The Ravens have between now and March 4 to apply the tag. We ultimately expect them to play things safe and go with the exclusive tag.
