Ravens sign WR Rashod Bateman to three-year, $36.75 million extension through 2029 season

The Baltimore Ravens have signed wide receiver Rashod Bateman to a three-year extension valued at $36.75 million, with $20 million guaranteed. This deal secures Bateman through the 2029 season. Last year, Bateman had a breakout season with 756 yards and nine touchdowns, prompting the Ravens to extend his contract early. Despite not having massive stats, Bateman is crucial to the Ravens' offense, which has recently added DeAndre Hopkins to join Bateman and WR1 Zay Flowers—making it the best wide receiver lineup Baltimore has seen in years. The team prioritized Bateman's extension amidst other candidates like Lamar Jackson and Kyle Hamilton.
