Ravens pick up wide receiver Zay Flowers' fifth-year option: Source

The Baltimore Ravens have picked up the fifth-year option on Zay Flowers’ rookie deal, according to a team source, a decision that keeps the wide receiver under contract through 2027 but doesn’t eliminate the possibility of an extension.Given Flowers’ strong first three seasons, which have included two Pro Bowl selections, this was widely considered a formality. The Ravens beat the May 1 deadline for picking up fifth-year options on 2023 first-round picks by about a week. Flowers’ option is worth $28 million, a tough but necessary price for Baltimore to pay for its top receiver.Advertisement
