Even though Joe Flacco looks like he is on his way to earning a big payday, the Ravens quarterback probably won't get it anytime soon.

Talks on a long-term deal between the Ravens and Flacco have been shelved after a deal was close to being finalized in early August, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

This latest development has no impact on Flacco's future with the Ravens, or at least over the next couple of seasons. Flacco will be the Ravens' starter in 2013 and 2014, whether it's with a long-term deal or the franchise tag. Baltimore can keep Flacco from becoming a free agent by using the tag, which should be around $15 million next year and $18 million the year after that.

Juan Eye On: Joe Flacco

Via Juan Elway  |  September 15, 2012
They took my handcuffs off Juan…  Joe Flacco tore it up last Monday night.  He threw the ball down the field with the greatest of ease.  The Ravens have been protecting Flacco for too long and now they have unleashed him.   Haven’t we seen this before from Cam Cameron? I love Flacco’s talent and his weapons.  I don’t trust that Cameron will continue to let him run the...

Yes, the Baltimore Ravens and Joe Flacco looked amazing last Monday Night against a division rival and yes the offense probably played the best game you’ve ever seen them play. The defense, while only giving up 13 points did bend a bit to the inside running game. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles struggled to beat a perennially rebuilding Browns team.

Prediction Saturday: Ravens don’t suffer a letdown this time

Via MyTeamRivals.com  |  September 15, 2012
This game is a tough one to pick this early in the season. It’s not real clear how either team, the Ravens or Eagles, will be this season. Baltimore looked dominant Monday night and the Eagles won their game against the Browns, but turned the ball over five times. For this week, I’m rolling with the home team. Joe Flacco showed pinpoint accuracy in the Ravens’ 44-13 victory...
