Zay Flowers isn’t going anywhere
Four years. $140 million. $108 million of it guaranteed. Zay Flowers put pen to paper in Baltimore on Tuesday, and the Ravens have their franchise receiver tied down through the end of the decade.
His agents leaked the numbers before the club said a word. Baltimore confirmed the deal but kept the figures to itself.
That price tag drops him into rare company. At $35 million a year on average, Flowers now sits level with Justin Jefferson, fourth among the league’s highest-paid receivers. Only Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Ja’Marr Chase and Drake London pull down more.
Try it for $0.99.
This deal is really about Lamar
New head coach Jesse Minter handed his receiver the day off to sign the paperwork, then talked up what Flowers has going with Lamar Jackson.
“When you’ve got that bond off the field and on it, it gets really special,” Minter said. The two train together through the offseason and keep pushing each other.
Flowers is 25. Back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons sit behind him. His 1,211 yards in 2025 stand as a franchise record for a Ravens receiver.
Three years in, already a cornerstone
Baltimore took him 22nd overall in 2023. Fifty games later the résumé reads plainly: 237 catches, 3,128 yards, 14 touchdowns. Free agency won’t come knocking until after 2031.
