Quote:The Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos reportedly agreed to a trade in principle Wednesday that will send veteran quarterback Joe Flacco to Denver.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the trade cannot become official until the new league year begins March 13. Both teams are prohibited from commenting on the deal until then as well. The Ravens are receiving a fourth-round pick, according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley. That is the Broncos original pick of the fourth round, not the pick acquired in the trade of Demaryius Thomas to the Houston Texans, per Mike Klis of 9News.
Field Yates of ESPN broke down Flacco's contract, noting the salary cap implications for the Ravens:
First off, that's a lot of dead money to swallow (Shipping him out of town would accelerate his $8 million in signing bonuses for 2019 and 2020 onto their 2019 cap, so that $16 million dead money still remains; link).
Do they really think Jackson's the answer? The fans were booing him in the wild card game and his rushing style might have been ok last year but how long before the dude gets absolutely crippled and the Ravens are screwed?
They got a fourth round pick for him (apparently), but I still don't think it was a good move.

His salary is way out of whack with his ability. If the SB he won was the last one, that might matter. What matters more is how far backward he's gone since he won that SB. He has recently experienced both back and hip issues. That 4th round pick is probably pretty much in keeping with his overall value.

No problem man.....I was just noting that someone had mentioned it....lol. I figured it would fit in Around the NFL due to the Broncos being involved. Figured it might get moved.

Elway is cementing himself has the greatest Bronco's QB in history on purpose. He doesn't want a real QB there who might challenge and/or take away his All Time great stats he built there.
