The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec reports the Ravens would “like to reach a deal sooner rather than later” to extend Zay Flowers.

Flowers’ fifth-year option hasn’t been picked up yet, but that’s regarded as a formality. Zrebiec believes that Flowers won’t match or exceed the contract numbers for Jaxon Smith-Njigba or Puka Nacua, but they probably “won’t be far behind.” Flowers posted a 86/1,211/5 receiving line in 2025 and again figures to be Baltimore’s No. 1 receiver in 2026 after an underwhelming offseason for Baltimore on the offensive side of the ball.
