Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta said Thursday on 105.7 The Fan that he would “definitely” like to sign Zay Flowers to a long-term extension before the season — the front office’s first public confirmation of the timeline The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec projected last week. “We’ve had good conversations … Certainly a work in progress; optimistic about it. I feel like at some point it gets done,” DeCosta said. Flowers’ fifth-year option pays $27.3 million in 2027.
A new deal would not move Flowers’ 2026 fantasy outlook — he remains Baltimore’s clear No. 1 receiver — but it would firm up his dynasty floor as the offense transitions to coordinator Declan Doyle.
