Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has signed a new three-year, $37million contract with the team through the end of the 2027 season.
Bateman has spent his entire professional career with the Ravens after being the team’s first-round draft pick in 2021.
This is Bateman’s third NFL contract after a rookie deal and an extension last offseason.
Last year, Bateman signed a $15million extension over three years, with Baltimore nearly giving the wideout that value each season through 2027.
Bateman’s 2024 speaks in large to his uptick in value with 756 receiving yards and nine touchdowns.
Before the start of last season, Bateman only had four career NFL touchdowns.

Bateman will slot into the Ravens’ starting lineup as one of the top trio of wide receivers alongside Zay Flowers and DeAndre Hopkins.
The Ravens’ backfield of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry should provide plenty of opportunities for wide receivers, even with the guaranteed touches two of the best players in the NFL will get every week from John Harbaugh.
Bateman was also effective in the postseason last year, scoring two touchdowns before Baltimore’s divisional-round exit against the Buffalo Bills.
Heading into 2025, the Ravens look to be ready for another run at a Super Bowl, as is the case when one of the best quarterbacks in the league is under center.
Bateman now will be integral to those efforts for years to come.
