Quote:It's a good time to be a starting quarterback in the NFL.


Joe Flacco has agreed to a three-year contract extension with the Baltimore Ravens, a source told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport. The deal keeps him in a Baltimore uniform through 2021.

The Super Bowl-winning quarterback had his season cut short last year, suffering a torn ACL in a Week 11 win against the Rams.

Around The NFL will have more on this shortly.

No details yet that I see.

Someone wake up Luvnuts and tell him.

This is probably a maneuver to spread the cap hit they installed in the initial contract over a few more years.

His cap number raised from 14.55 million to 28.55 million for this coming year, and I imagine Baltimore needs to lower that number.

That's an elite signing bonus he got paid. Would expect Aaron Rodgers and Andrew Luck to be doing cartwheels.
