Ravens lock in Zay Flowers on four-year, $140 million extension

Baltimore and wide receiver Zay Flowers agreed to a four-year, $140 million extension on Monday, with $108 million guaranteed, per his agency. Flowers, a first-round pick out of the 2023 draft, has posted back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving seasons and caught 86 of 118 targets for 1,211 yards and five touchdowns in 2025.

The deal lands as the Ravens are wrapping up a busy offseason of roster construction following an 8–9 finish that cost them a playoff spot. Baltimore has already used the No. 14 overall pick on guard Vega Ioane, signed center Ethan Pocic, and added veteran tackle Kendall Lamm after Hakeem Adeniji's sudden retirement — all moves aimed at shoring up an offensive line that struggled at home last season. Locking up Flowers gives the passing game a secured centerpiece alongside Lamar Jackson as those line upgrades take shape.

The extension also addresses one of the team's more pressing depth concerns at receiver, where the roster had been thin behind Flowers heading into camp. Remaining offseason priorities include contract situations for Jackson, Roquan Smith, and Marlon Humphrey, along with succession questions at defensive end and defensive tackle as Baltimore tries to rebuild toward the 13- and 14-win form it showed in 2023 and 2024.
