Flowers, a Pro Bowler in each of the past two seasons, has been the Ravens’ WR1 since the moment he arrived in Baltimore as the No. 22 overall pick in the 2023 draft.
He’s led the team in receptions and receiving yards in every year of his career, and in 2025 set career highs with 86 catches and 1,211 yards. Flowers, who occasionally works in on gadget plays, has found the end zone 16 times for the Ravens, with two scores coming on the ground.
His elevated performance last season coincided with the Ravens leaning on Flowers more than they ever have, shedding any notion of an ensemble approach. The 25-year-old collected 38 more catches than the team’s second-leading pass catcher, tight end Mark Andrews. DeAndre Hopkins (no longer on the team) was the only other wide receiver to eclipse 20 receptions.
The Ravens have thusly rewarded Flowers with a big-money contract commensurate with his role as the standalone leader of a wide receiver group in 2026 that includes Rashod Bateman, Devontez Walker, third-round rookie Ja’Kobi Lane and fourth-round rookie Elijah Sarratt.
His deal comes not that long after general manager Eric DeCosta communicated an interest in extending Flowers and said he was optimistic the sides could get a deal done.
With a completed extension now out of the way, Flowers and the Ravens can shift that optimism toward finding results in the upcoming regular season, during which they hope to return to the playoffs under first-year head coach Jesse Minter.
