Okay, so worst case scenario they eat 18 mil, and that's if Flacco falls off a cliff.

If Flacco continues his play or slightly diminishes in his play, they can spread that 18 over 2-3 years, and possibly increase upon the 18.

Not that bad of a cap hit for the QB position.


EDIT: If he's making 50 million (including his signing bonus) in his first three years, why do they still owe him 18? Am I missing something? I thought his guaranteed number was like 55
