Ravens sign WR Rashod Bateman to a 3-year contract extension

The Ravens made some news one day ahead of the 2024 NFL draft, signing Rashod Bateman to a contract extension.

The three-year deal comes eight days before the deadline for exercising his 5th-year option.

In 2023, Bateman caught just 32 passes for 367 yards and one touchdown despite playing in all but one game and starting 12 contests.

A 2021 first-round pick, Bateman missed most of his second season after having foot surgery and was still dealing with the effects last season after finishing with 56 targets, the fourth-most on the team behind Zay Flowers, Odell Beckham Jr., and Mark Andrews.

He’ll enter 2024 without any lame duck status, as he and the organization reached a fair resolution that’ll likely pay Bateman less than his fifth-year option while ensuring security with two extra years.
