Their hands were tied. They had to re-sign him for whatever it took (in my opinion).

Everyone knew they couldn't let him go. Best QB in team history, lead them to their only title and has been the face of the franchise during the best run in team history. Even if they don't win with him again they were able to do so while he was still on his super cheap rookie deal and even extend the window a couple years.

Are we finally over getting outraged over every new contract being the biggest contract ever? It's about time.

Why would we? QB is the most important position and when you find an elite one, you do what it takes to keep them. You need an elite QB to win. If you build an elite defence you might get away with not having one but thats only happened 3, maybe 4 times in recent history (BAL, TB, DEN - Ravens 2nd title had a great defence but also Joe Flacco playing out of his mind for a month).

Once you win with said QB you pretty much stuck paying them what they ask for, look at Flacco after Baltimore won. Got way more than he should've.
