OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Zay Flowers has quickly established himself as the most decorated wide receiver in Baltimore Ravens history, and now he's the highest-paid wide receiver in team history, too.
Flowers agreed on a four-year extension with the Ravens on Tuesday, the team announced. The deal for the two-time Pro Bowler is for $140 million and includes $108 million guaranteed -- both of which are records for a Ravens wide receiver -- his agency, Win Sports Group, told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The average of $35 million per season ties him with Minnesota's Justin Jefferson as the NFL's fourth-highest paid wide receiver. Flowers becomes the second-highest paid player on the Ravens behind quarterback Lamar Jackson.
"A great day for the Ravens," coach Jesse Minter said after Tuesday's practice. "When your best players are the right type of people, and they bring the right mentality, and everything marries together, those are the type of guys ... it's such a great thing when something like that happens to them. Nothing better as a coach than to see those guys get what they deserve."
The contract extension had been expected after general manager Eric DeCosta expressed optimism this offseason that a deal would get done. Flowers, who was not made available to reporters on Tuesday, said in June that he would love to finish his career in Baltimore.
Flowers, who will turn 26 next month, solidified himself as Jackson's most trusted target last season. His 1,211 yards receiving accounted for 36.9% of the Ravens' total receiving yards, which was the second-highest share by any player in 2025 behind Seattle's Jaxon Smith-Njigba (44.1%).
Known for his work ethic, Flowers has driven to Jackson's house at 5 a.m. in the offseason, honking his horn to get Jackson to come out for workouts.
When asked about Flowers' possible contract extension this offseason, Jackson said Flowers' value is "out of this world."
In 2024, Flowers became the Ravens' first player to make the Pro Bowl as a wide receiver in the team's 29-year history.
He again reached the Pro Bowl last season, when he set career highs with 86 catches for 1,211 yards. No other Baltimore wide receiver had more than 25 catches or 400 yards in 2025.
Flowers was under contract through 2027 after Baltimore picked up his fifth-year option in April. Now, with the contract extension, Flowers is under contract through 2031.
"Zay is the type of player we always seek to retain," Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement. "Tough, competitive, durable, a premier talent and a foundational football player."
The 22nd overall pick of the 2023 draft, Flowers overcame the knocks on his 5-foot-9, 183-pound frame by totaling 3,128 yards in his first three seasons. That ranks third among wide receivers from the 2023 draft, trailing the Rams' Puka Nacua (4,191) and Smith-Njigba (3,551).
"He's just elusive," Ravens cornerback Nate Wiggins said Tuesday. "He's got the speed, he's got the quickness, the in and out of breaks. He really has everything a receiver needs. And he plays big."
After retaining Jackson's top target, the Ravens will continue to work on a contract extension with Jackson himself. The two-time NFL Most Valuable Player has two years remaining on his contract.
