Terms of the deal are not yet known, but the Ravens beat the deadline with one of their star players once again. CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora talked to a few contract negotiators around the league earlier in the day and speculated a deal could range anywhere from five years and $90 million to six years and $108 million. Of course, neither of those average the $20 million annually that Flacco is said to be seeking, so those could be conservative numbers. Our own Evan Silva predicted seven years and $140 million. The main thing is the Ravens have locked Flacco up long-term without having to use the franchise tag and tying up major cap space as a result. Baltimore can now move on to free agents Dannell Ellerbe, Paul Kruger, and Ed Reed. Stay tuned for further updates.
