Rashod Bateman contract details: Ravens extend WR after career-best season
Rashod Bateman enjoyed the best season of his career with the Baltimore Ravens in 2024. The team has rewarded him for his efforts with a three-year extension, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
This marks the second consecutive offseason during which Baltimore has signed Bateman to a contract extension. The 25-year-old signed a two-year pact during the 2024 NFL offseason that paid him an average of just over $6.4 million in average annual value (AAV) and tethered him to the team through the 2026 season.
Bateman's new deal will nearly double his AAV while ensuring he will continue to work as Baltimore's No. 2 receiver across from Zay Flowers.
Bateman played in all 17 regular-season games for the Ravens last season and recorded career-best marks in receiving yards (756) and receiving touchdowns (9). He served as a complimentary weapon in Baltimore's offense, which averaged the third-most points per game league-wide (30.1).
Here's what to know about Bateman's new deal with the Ravens as Baltimore looks to repeat the offensive success it had in 2025.
