Ravens to meet with Flacco rep

The Ravens will meet with the agent for first-round quarterback Joe Flacco over the next two days as the sides try to reach a deal before training camp begins July 22.

Mr. Flacco,

Keep in mind these situations if you're deciding to hold out:

Drew Brees-Philip Rivers. Rivers had to wait two years to get his shot b/c he held out most of training camp.

Derek Anderson-Brady Quinn. Who knows when Quinn will get his shot, but as bad as Anderson and Charlie Frye looked in last year's preseason, it's a safe bet that Quinn probably could have been last year's starter instead of sitting on the bench for who knows how long.

Just keep those scenarios in mind if you decide that you want an extra 500k when you'll most likely get a 10 million dollar signing bonus. 500k is a lot money, but if you're already getting 10 million guaranteed, you may want to consider just heading into camp. That way, you most likely will get to your second contract much earlier.

then again, 500k is a lot of money

After coming from a D1AA school, this guy should sign for way less than slot. He was a 2nd round pick at best.

Unless He has Titanium Knees to support that tall frame.... He's one awkward hit away from being a a huge waste of money.... if they're not carefull.....Taller guy = Bigger target/ more Vulnerability.....Leftwich or Rothlisberger?

You haven't done anything yet Joe. Don't be greedy.

I don't see Joe holding out of training camp for more money
