Joe Flacco should be highest-paid NFL QB

Joe Flacco's contract is one of the biggest issues the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens are dealing with in the offseason.

Joe Linta, Flacco's agent thinks believes Flacco should be in for a huge pay raise. When asked by Brian A. Shactman of CNBC whether Flacco should be the highest paid quarterback in the NFL, Linta simply said: "YES."

That would mean more than the $18 million Denver paid Peyton Manning this season, or the $20 million a year that Drew Brees is averaging in New Orleans.

He's younger than both. He's won as much as they have. And Flacco is just heading into the peak of his career.

"When you do a contract of this magnitude, you look at what is the player's body of work presently," Linta said. "And what are the expectations going forward over the next four, five or six years.

"Joe wins on both accounts."
