>>63076254>Talent around him diminished because they had to pay him.Not really. His cap hit to this point has been pretty friendly, although they need to restructure for next year or it really will be brutal. The problem is 4 different offensive coordinators in 4 years, losing Suggs to injury, losing the entire secondary to injuries last year, having a shitty secondary even when healthy, Lewis and Reed retiring, Ngata's and Rice's dead cap hit, and not drafting in the top-10 since 2003. No playmakers on defense, best playmaker on offense is old and retiring. Flacco could play for free at this point and the roster would still be kind of shitty.
