Lamar Jackson keeps one of his key weapons as Zay Flowers signs significant contract extension with Ravens

Lamar Jackson is feeling more at ease heading into the start of a new NFL season, as he will have one of his most reliable weapons available. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Zay Flowers agreed to a four-year contract extension with the franchise.

“Just in: Baltimore’s two-time Pro-Bowl WR Zay Flowers reached agreement today with the Ravens on a four-year, $140 million extension that includes $108 million guaranteed, per his agency @WinSportsGroup,” the insider revealed on X.

Flowers did not participate in the latest practice, but he closely followed everything that was happening with his teammates. Now that he has agreed to his contract extension, he is expected to be back at Jesse Minter’s disposal once again.

Zay Flowers has solidified his role as Lamar Jackson’s ultimate go-to target in the Baltimore Ravens‘ offense, using his elite acceleration, quick change of direction, and deep-threat ability to punish opposing secondary defenses.

During the 2025 NFL season, Flowers earned his second career Pro Bowl selection after establishing personal bests with 86 receptions for 1,211 receiving yards (averaging 14.1 yards per catch) and 5 receiving touchdowns across 17 games (plus 62 rushing yards and 1 rushing touchdown). His versatility both as a vertical route-runner and a dynamic playmaker after the catch gives Jackson a dependable target at every level of the field.
