1. How much will Joe Flacco get paid?

As recently as early January, there were questions about Joe Flacco’s capability to ever lead the Ravens to the promised land.

What a difference a Vince Lombardi Trophy and Super Bowl MVP award can make.

Now, as Flacco embarks on an offseason in which he could hit free
agency, his agent is lobbying for the Ravens to make Flacco the
highest-paid quarterback in the league — surpassing Drew Brees’ $20
million-per-year and Peyton Manning’s $18 million-per-year averages.

Outside of Baltimore you still would be hard-pressed to find anyone
who thinks Flacco is a superior quarterback to either Brees or Manning.
But Flacco was absolutely brilliant during the playoffs (11 touchdown
passes, no interceptions) and has every right to strike while iron is
hot.

There is no chance the Ravens let Flacco leave in free agency, so the
fallback plan would be to slap the exclusive franchise tag on him.
Doing so would cost Baltimore $20 million for the 2013 season. If they
think Flacco is worth that much anyway, the Ravens may wind up signing a
huge paycheck

2. Darrelle Revis’ future

Are the New York Jets really, truly committed to relocating Revis
Island? Because of their horrible salary cap situation, they may not
have a choice.

The Jets currently sit about $20 million over next season’s projected
cap — a number that includes the $6 million ($3 million base plus
bonuses) Revis is due in 2013. That, obviously, does not leave room for
the Jets to bump Revis’ contract up to where the cornerback wants it.
Revis is in the final year of his deal, so the Jets may opt to deal him
and get something in return, rather than watch him leave next offseason
for nothing.

Despite coming off a torn ACL, Revis believes he should be the
league’s highest-paid defensive player (last year, Mario Williams got
$100 million over six years, with $50 million guaranteed) , which is a
hurdle any team looking to trade for the shut-down corner will have to
jump.

3. RGIII’s rehab

The heart of every Redskins fan sank on Jan. 6, when Robert Griffin
III crumpled to the FedEx Field turf, clutching his knee during a
playoff loss to the Seahawks. The torn ACL and LCL that Griffin suffered
that day required extensive surgery and put his status for the 2013
season in jeopardy.

Griffin has promised to be ready for Week 1 — an Adrian Petersonesque
timetable for recovery. The safer bet is that Griffin misses at least a
few games to start next season, with Kirk Cousins and a yet-unnamed
veteran duking it out to replace him in the lineup.

Peterson’s sensational return from his own knee injury set an
extremely high bar for injured players after him. Expecting Griffin to
come back as quickly and in as incredible shape as Peterson is unfair.
That’s what Redskins fans are hoping for, though.

4. What will the Chiefs do at No. 1?

Last year, we knew weeks before the NFL Draft arrived that the
Indianapolis Colts planned to take Andrew Luck at No. 1 overall. Had the
Colts passed on Luck, RGIII was there waiting for them, too.

The Chiefs do not have such good fortune this year.

There is no clear-cut No. 1 pick on this year’s board, and the
consensus best player available (offensive tackle Luke Joeckel) may be a
luxury pick Kansas City cannot afford, if free agent tackle Branden
Albert re-signs with the Chiefs.

So, the drama surrounding the top spot in the draft could last until
late April, when the league heads to New York. Will Kansas City nab
Joeckel? How about Geno Smith or a new quarterback for Andy Reid to
mold, a la Donovan McNabb? Or is a trade-down scenario on the table?

No one knows for sure right now, and that likely includes the Chiefs’ front office.

5. The Manti Te’o mystery

Another draft storyline to track involves that of Notre Dame
linebacker Manti Te’o, whose bizarre, fake romance captured the
attention of the nation after the BCS title game.

Te’o once was believed to be (erroneously) a top-10 prospect in this
year’s draft class. Then his stock took a hit in that national
championship game, when he often looked lost against Alabama’s offensive
line. Now, after the catfish scandal, any speculation about his stock
is on hold until Te’o arrives at the Scouting Combine and conducts
interviews with teams. Will Te’o do enough in Indianapolis to convince
the NFL that his on-field abilities outweigh his mystifying past?

6. Which uniform will Michael Vick wear in 2013?

The Eagles opted not to cut Vick on Wednesday, and in doing so,
guaranteed $3 million of the $15.5 million Vick currently is set to make
for the upcoming season. At some point, Philadelphia has to pay Vick
that other $12.5 million, renegotiate his deal to whittle down that
figure, trade him or release him.

That final option is the gutsiest, as it could leave the Eagles still on the hook for Vick’s full contract.

By holding onto the controversial QB for now, Philadelphia gives Chip
Kelly more of an opportunity to analyze his current QB situation and
figure out his next move. Perhaps Vick will wind up figuring into the
Eagles’ plans, after all.

If he does not, then the likely conclusion here is a trade. There are
several teams in need of a starting quarterback — Kansas City, Arizona
and Jacksonville come to mind. Would any of those teams be willing to
roll the dice on a soon-to-be 33-year-old Vick?

7. Key offseason for new coaches

While Chip Kelly’s name is in the discussion …

The former Oregon coach now has the reins in Philadelphia, and a lot
of intrigued eyes will be cast his direction to see if Kelly’s style can
translate at the NFL level. He is one of two college coaches to make
the leap this year — Buffalo’s Doug Marrone, most recently of Syracuse,
the other.

The man that Kelly took over for, Andy Reid, ought to garner his fair
share of attention, as well. Tasked with turning the Chiefs back into
contenders, Reid faces an uphill climb after Kansas City inexplicably
slumped to a 2-14 finish in 2012. That’s seven fewer wins than Bruce
Arians racked up as the Colts’ interim coach, while Chuck Pagano battled
leukemia. Arians parlayed his masterful fill-in job with the Colts into
the top spot in Arizona.

Three coordinators will get their shots as head coaches, too:
ex-Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley (Jacksonville), ex-Broncos
offensive coordinator Mike McCoy (San Diego) and ex-Panthers OC Rob
Chudzinski (Cleveland).

Oh, and Chicago, primed to be a contending team, pulled the trigger
on an extremely interesting hire, plucking the offensive-minded Marc
Trestman from the CFL.

8. Dealing with disgruntled QBs

Vick may not be the only big-name quarterback on the move this
offseason. Both Alex Smith (San Francisco) and Tim Tebow (Jets) will be
in new uniforms next year, if they have anything to say about it. And
Matt Flynn, who lost Seattle’s starting job to Russell Wilson, also
might find a new home before the 2013 campaign.

Tebow’s NFL ship may have sailed by this point, but Smith played
extremely well in 2012 prior to the injury that opened the door for
Colin Kaepernick to take the 49ers’ job. Could he be the answer for
Kelly in Philadelphia or Reid in Kansas City?

9. Welcome back, Sean Payton

Finally, there is a sense of normalcy being restored in the Saints’
organization. After a tumultuous and frustrating 2012 season, New
Orleans is eager to deliver a bounce-back 2013 effort — and the recent
reinstatement of head coach Sean Payton from his year-long NFL
suspension ought to help.

Even better for the Saints: Payton wanted to stay in New Orleans,
signing a new long-term deal, when he could have jumped ship. He made
his presence felt immediately, firing DC Steve Spagnuolo after just one
season with the team, and announcing a switch to the 3-4 defense, just
three days after Payton was allowed back with the team.

10. Tracking a tantalizing free-agent class

There’s a former No. 1 pick about to hit the market in Miami left
tackle Jake Long. Oh, and several very talented wide receivers, like
Mike Wallace, Greg Jennings, Dwayne Bowe and Wes Welker all could be
free agents. Plus, longtime defensive stalwarts Brian Urlacher and Ed
Reed are in need of new contracts — and possibly new teams.

Što više. 20 mil $ je minimum za njega posle ovoga, nema tu šta. Samo treba prerapodeliti.
