Per ESPN’s Jamison Hensley, the Baltimore Ravens are likely to reach a long-term deal with wide receiver Zay Flowers before Week 1, following their historical approach with core players. The expected contract could exceed $35 million annually, reflecting the rising market for receivers, especially after Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s deal with the Seahawks. Flowers, who was selected 22nd overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, has shown strong performance, including 86 receptions for 1,211 yards in 2025. The Ravens exercised his fifth-year option for 2027, securing him through that season.
