Zay Flowers, Ravens Agree to Massive $140 Million Extension Before 2026 Season
Zay Flowers signs a massive $140M extension with the Ravens, tying Justin Jefferson as the NFL's 4th highest-paid receiver.
The Baltimore Ravens have reached a significant agreement with their star wide receiver, Zay Flowers, before the 2026 season. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the NFL team and Flowers have agreed to a four-year, $140 million contract that includes $108 million in guaranteed money. This deal ranks as the fourth-highest in guaranteed money for a receiver in the league, surpassing the amounts received by Washington Redskins' Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Atlanta Falcons' Drake London, and Cincinnati Bengals' Chris Olave.
Flowers' average annual salary of $35 million also ties him for the fourth-highest in the league with Minnesota Vikings' Justin Jefferson. At just 25 years old, Flowers has had a breakout season in 2025, recording 1,211 yards (seventh-most in the NFL) and five touchdowns on 86 receptions, averaging an impressive 14.1 yards per catch.
He has developed a strong bond with quarterback Lamar Jackson and forms the core of the Ravens' offense alongside running back Derrick Henry. Flowers has consistently demonstrated his durability, missing only a single game in three seasons. This massive extension positions Flowers among the highest-paid players in football.
