Rumors swirling that Ravens will tag Flacco
Joe Flacco - QB - Baltimore Ravens

Profootballtalk's Mike Florio reports "current speculation" from the Combine is that the Ravens will slap free agent Joe Flacco with the non-exclusive franchise tag.
It'd be a massive gamble by Baltimore. The Ravens would then put all of their trust into Flacco bringing any offer he receives back to them before signing. Florio points out the chances of Flacco leaving remain small, but the non-exclusive tag would give quarterback-needy teams (Arizona, Cleveland?) a window of opportunity to put the full-court press on the Super Bowl MVP. The non-exclusive tender carries a $14.6 million price. Baltimore has until March 4 to make its move.
