Now, there is even more reason for Baltimore to hail Joe Flacco as a hero.

Team Flacco, his representatives led by agent Joe Linta, have been meeting with Ravens representatives since the NFL Combine this past weekend. To have ironed something out is good news all around for the people involved.

The deal ostensibly will allow for the Ravens to have some cap space to sign other free agents, as well as their own. This answers some of the slight frustration that Ravens fans have expressed while seeing other deals for marquee players come through.
