The Baltimore Ravens have exercised wide receiver Zay Flowers’ fifth-year option, keeping him under contract through the 2027 season. NFL.com reported the move after Flowers, a 2023 first-round pick, became eligible for the option.

The Ravens’ own report said the option is worth $28 million and that the team expects Flowers to remain under contract through 2027. The club also reported that its leadership expects to discuss a longer extension with the receiver.

Flowers has recorded 3,128 receiving yards since entering the NFL, according to the Ravens. The team described that figure as the 11th-highest total in the league over the relevant three-season period. The option decision therefore covers the next contractual season while leaving a possible extension as a separate matter.

NFL.com identified the fifth-year option as the Ravens’ decision for the 2023 first-round receiver. The available reports do not say that a long-term extension has been completed. They establish the option exercise, its reported value and the club’s stated expectation that Flowers will remain with Baltimore through 2027. The option and any extension are separate contract actions.

The option decision covers the next season under the reported contract terms.
