You can't burn both ends of the candle. You've been saying that the contract keeps looking better and better and Ozzie is a genius. 

First thing, Flacco needs to be agreeable to renegotiating. Even when he does, he's going to get all the money eventually. He's not giving any back.
Second, and most importantly; you can't say it continues to look better and better and then say "well, he's going to renegotiate..." If he has to renegotiate, it wasn't a very good contract. It was a contract the Ravens had to sign due to the circumstances and they now have to hope/believe Flacco is going to help by moving some of the money.
