10:16 AM ET 07.22 | Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco will report to training camp Monday, and he said that it doesn't matter one bit whether his contract situations is resolved quickly or not. "If it happens, it happens," Flacco said tonight. "I see myself being here for many years no matter what happens." After securing running back Ray Rice to a long-term deal Monday, the Ravens accelerated contract talks with Flacco's agent, Joe Linta, this week. At this point, no deal is imminent but both sides are optimistic that one can be reached before the season, which represents Flacco's final year of his rookie contract. As training camp nears, Ravens and Flacco continue extension talks As training camp nears, Ravens and Flacco continue extension talks Flacco, 27, has made it clear to Linta that he doesn't need to hear the daily updates about the status of the negotiations with the Ravens, but he acknowledged both sides continue to talk.

Players with attitudes like this are unfortunately too few, this is a big part of what makes some organizations like the Ravens great.

I still need another year. He should have eaten the Patriots alive. That game should not have come down to the last play. I need to see what he can do this year with a defense that may not be as good as last years. But then again the defense could be better and it will be hard to judge his actual value.

He out played Tom Brady and I'm still not convinced that the pass to Evans wasn't a touchdown. That the play wasn't reviewed was a travesty. Be that as it may if Cundif hits the 3 I'm sure the Ravens win it, Pats were done like dinner

The guy is the only quarterback in NFL History to make the playoff his first four years you give him another year and I'll give you another year to study quarterbacks, I think that's fair!

By NFL rules it was a touchdown. But the NFL wanted a Giants/Patriots rematch, not a Harbowl.
