I don't know about that. Flacco wants a monster deal, and the Ravens might have to use the franchise tag on him. That would eat about $14.6 million of their cap space. It would only go up from there if they end up using the exclusive rights tag, which would be equal to the average of the Top 5 QBs in the NFL (approx. $20.464 million).

The Ravens are set to have $10.6 million in cap space, meaning they would most likely have to restructure some people or make some cuts just to keep Flacco.
