PFT: Progress in talks between Welker, Patriots

Joe FlaccoAP

On Monday, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco signed his contract.? On Tuesday, the full details have surfaced.

Per a source with his knowledge of the contract, here are the terms:

1.? $29 million signing bonus.

2.? $1 million base salary in 2013.

3.? $15 million option bonus due in 2014.

4.? $6 million base salary in 2014.

5.? $7 million option bonus due in 2015.

6.? $4 million base salary due in 2015.

7.? $18 million base salary in 2016.

8.? $20.6 million base salary in 2017.

9.? $20 million base salary in 2018.

The cap numbers are $6.8 million in 2013, $14.8 million in 2014, $14.55 million in 2015, $28.55 million in 2016, $31.15 million in 2017, and $24.75 million in 2018.

The reduced cap number in the last year of the deal gives the Ravens protection against the 20-percent raise arising from the use of the franchise tag.? The $24.75 million cap number in 2018 becomes a $29.7 million franchise tag in 2019.

Still, it?s the $28.55 million cap number in 2016 that will force a new deal, barring a major (and unexpected) spike in the salary cap.
