Ravens QB Joe Flacco Could Get The Teams Franchise Tag

Found January 30, 2013 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Joe Flacco,  Ozzie Newsome
TEAMS: Baltimore Ravens
Joe Flacco has insisted throughout the playoffs he's not concerned about his contract until after this season. And based on Ozzie Newsome's comments Tuesday at the Super Bowl Media Day, Ravens fans shouldn't be worried, either. Newsome more or less confirmed that the Ravens will use the franchise tag on Flacco if they don't get a long-term deal done before the tagging deadline by saying, "he'll be playing football for us next year." "We'll be able to get that thing done," Newsome said Tuesday. "But one thing we do know, he'll be playing football for us next year. And sometimes that's all you can look forward to is just next year." Source: CBSSports
