All signs point to Ozzie being a genius

There's a very strong belief that an adjustment after three years was a foregone conclusion during initial contract agreements anyways. 

Bottom line is that everyone saying the Ravens "have to" rework Flacco's deal this offseason is dead wrong. $28m would be a lot to carry next season, but the $14m increase from this year's number doesn't even cover all of the ridiculous $21m in dead money they're carrying this year, every dime of which will be off the books next season
