Never thought I'd say it, mistake by Ozzie Newsome. Highest paid player in NFL history? not close

If I understand correcrtly, Flacco's contract is only guaranteed for 3 years, and has roughly the same amount of guaranteed money as Tom's.

I'd expect that he'll have to restructure in two to three years, and bring down his number drastically.

Either way, he was over paid in this armchair GMs opinion.

Its not a mistake. Ozzie is a smart GM, possibly the best one out there. Flacco, like him or love him, just won a super bowl and was MVP for good reason. He looked like one of the best QBs ever in a super bowl performance wise, and he threw 0 Ints in the playoffs. Flacco is a top 10 QB. His money is number 1 worthy, but we know that Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan, Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson, RG3, Kaepernick, who in a year to a couple of years will more than likely be signing contracts that exceeds his. This is the largest deal Flacco will ever sign. That I can guarantee. And in a year or two Flacco will be re-doing that deal for guys like Torrey Smith and Arthur Jones for example so yeah now its a big contract but in a year or two it will be what it deserves to be. Keep in mind also that a few years ago Brees was paid more than Brady and Manning and people were like "He's not better than those two" then Brady and Manning got new deals and Brees was paid "where he should have been (#3)"
