With a deal for running back Ray Rice now finished, the Baltimore Ravens are optimistic they can reach a contract extension with quarterback Joe Flacco by the time training camp opens next week, sources tell ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen.

Flacco's agent emphasized that point Tuesday after Rice signed a five-year, $40 million deal Monday.
