The Baltimore Ravens signed quarterback Joe Flacco to a contract extension that will keep him with the team until 2021.  Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said it’s great to lock up their star quarterback since most teams have issues at that position.  The Washington Redskins sent a hilarious meme on Twitter in response to the article.

Excerpt from article via BaltimoreRavens.com:

“Joe is our quarterback, and we’re proud to be able to say that. Teams struggle with the quarterback position,” Newsome said.

“Philly signing [Sam] Bradford and Washington having to put the franchise tag on [Kirk] Cousins [are examples]. They don’t have the resume that Joe has, and for us to be moving forward with a guy that has eight years and won a Super Bowl and been in three AFC championship games, it speaks volumes.”

Cousins’ franchise tag is a one-year, $19.95 million contract. Cousins had a breakout 2015 season, but that was his first year as the team’s full-time starter. In 2014, Cousins was benched midway through the season after throwing nine interceptions to 10 touchdowns.
