The Baltimore Ravens have reached an agreement on a four-year, $140 million contract extension with wide receiver Zay Flowers, according to a person with knowledge of the deal who spoke on condition of anonymity. The extension, which includes $108 million guaranteed, underscores the team's commitment to the two-time Pro Bowl player.
Flowers, who was selected by the Ravens in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, has quickly established himself as a key player in Baltimore's offense. The 5-foot-9 receiver recorded back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, including last year when he caught 86 passes for 1,211 yards and five touchdowns. His performance has made him a primary target for quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Ravens head coach Jesse Minter described the contract extension as a positive development for both the team and Flowers. “Great day for the Ravens. Shoutout to Zay Flowers,” Minter said. “Nothing better as a coach than to see those guys get what they deserve. Really happy for Zay and excited for him. I can’t wait to see him thrive in our offense.”
The contract represents one of the larger financial commitments to a wide receiver in the league, reflecting Flowers’ impact despite being in the early stages of his career. The deal aligns with the Ravens’ strategy to build around their key offensive weapons and maintain continuity with their core players.
No further details regarding additional contract terms or incentives were disclosed. The extension comes ahead of the upcoming NFL season, providing Baltimore with stability at the wide receiver position as they prepare to compete.
