Joe Flacco doesn't see why the Ravens need to wait until after the 2011 season to extend his contract. "I think I've established myself," Flacco told The Baltimore Sun. "If you're not confident with who I am, I'm not sure what a year is going to make. "Ideally for me, I would like to start talks this year. Next year, I feel like they would have to throw something in front of me that's going to be pretty legit in order for me to not play out my fifth year. If you don't sign me this year, you're making me play a whole year of my contract with no security. If you want to sign me after next year, what's playing six more months." Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said last month that he would "anticipate" an extension for Flacco getting done in time for the 2012 season.
