It won't be up to Flacco.
He is 33 and his base salary jumps from $12m in 2018 to $18.5m in 2019 and his cap number will jump $1.7m to $26.5m in 2019. And his best days are behind him.
Lamar Jackson is 21 and under his rookie contract and is locked up for 4 years. His base salary for 2019 is $910K and his cap hit is only $2.2m in 2019.
If the Ravens release Flacco before the start of the 2019 league year, they can save a little over $12m in cap space.
