As for the Flacco deal, I believe that we have had a few good drafts that will help keep our costs down through rookie contracts. The Ravens issue was as much that after they won the SB everyone wanted to be paid like a star.

-- that might be another reason to get the deal done this year, cuz if we were to win the SB and have to pay for KC and all our "stars", we would be in Baltimore's situation.

Good point. Oakland actually has a pretty good FO, so hopefully they won't go overboard.
