When is his contract up?

For the past two seasons I've said that he'd be a $100m QB anyway. This playoff run however has pushed him past the 7 years/$100m ($14.3m) deal that I expected. But even in that deal I thought he'd see incentives that could push the deal up to $17m if he were to reach certain performance incentives. however, now I think he's probably going to get paid closer to his asking price, but not all of it. Ozzie is smart, he won't fork it all over to Joe. I'm thinking a 7/$112m ($16m) deal IF Joe performs well enough to win us the Super Bowl in two weeks time. We'd then have incentives placed within that could push the deal up to $122.5m ($17.5m). If he doesn't perform well in the Super Bowl and we lose- I think he probably sees $108.5m with the same incentives.

I think we'll see a contract that is a bit less on the average yearly salary than expected, but higher in guaranteed money. That's generally how Ozzie has worked things in the past and it keeps both sides happy. It keeps their overall cap number down which helps to re-sign others, and it gives the players the added security of knowing if they suffer a huge injury, they'll still get a lot of money.

I expect to see a contract that averages just over $16M a season (6 or 7 years). Not sure on the guaranteed money as I don't know what "normal" is, but I'd expect it to be up there with some of the even larger contracts. Somewhere in the $40-$50M guaranteed range maybe.

I'd give him small guaranteed and basic and hefty bonuses for performance.
To me he is a QB who can't be guaranteed to get you to the playoffs but once you get to the playoffs is a different story.We have yet to see him have to drag the Ravens to the playoffs with them relying solely on him.
He has one of the best deep balls in the game but his short game is nowhere near up to the standard of his deep one.
I'd also get him another class receiver.

Joe Flacco has always been a good QB in my mind, top 15 QB, but now he has gotten overrated real fast with those couple of wins in the playoffs.

He's definitly been good in those playoffs, though not great IMO, but if he is to get a 100 million contract, he should give half of it to Rahim Moore, John Fox and to the Ravens defense.

He's done enough to give the Ravens a chance to win every game in those playoffs but the Ravens defense and the Broncos did a lot more to help him get those wins.
