Zay Flowers has "no limits" from knee injury, Ravens want to get him the ball more
Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers missed the team's playoff action with a knee injury, but he avoided surgery this offseason and is on track to be back in his familiar place in the offense come the start of the 2025 season.
Flowers has been practicing at the team's OTAs and said on Tuesday that he is working with 'no limits' at this point in the offseason. The return of a healthy Flowers has offensive coordinator Todd Monken thinking about ways to use him more often this year.
'We've just got to get him the ball more,' Monken said, via the team's website. 'He's an unbelievable football player. He's not only an outside receiver that has elite route-running skills, but he's unbelievable with the ball in his hands. So you have a guy that really plays two spots. I'm not sure he can use that in his contract negotiations. But I'm just saying you can use him in a variety of roles to get him the ball, which allows your volume to go up. He's a volume catch guy. You can use him in novelty screens, getting him the ball down the field. I expect him to take another leap. When you make it to the Pro Bowl, or you're an All-Pro, you're pretty good.'
Monken mentioned Flowers's contract and the wideout will be eligible for an extension for the first time after the 2025 season. If Monken does increase his usage and he stays healthy, it will be an effective negotiating point for the 2023 first-round pick.

Ravens WR depth chart: Where Rashod Bateman fits after extension
Ravens WR depth chart: Where Rashod Bateman fits after extension Show Caption Hide Caption Five NFL games we can't wait to watch in the 2025 season The NFL schedule for the 2025-2026 season has been released. Here are a few games on our must-watch list. The Baltimore Ravens have always been a franchise known for defense. Nowadays, they are a great all-around team that possesses one of the top-scoring offenses in the NFL. The Ravens are a team that promises to beat opponents in a variety of ways, exchanging ground-and-pound for an all-out attack. The running back room features the bruising, punishing Derrick Henry. The tight end room features the steady duo of Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely. The quarterback room features the two-time league MVP and dual-threat Lamar Jackson. It's about time the receiver room has caught up. Zay Flowers is the headliner, but he'll keep his running mate, Rashod Bateman, going forward after the fifth-year receiver inked a three-year, $36.75 million extension. After adding DeAndre Hopkins to the fold, the Ravens are a terrifying bunch for opposing defenses to match up with. Here's a look at the receiver depth chart in Baltimore as minicamp and training camp approach. Ravens WR depth chart Flowers is the unquestioned receiver atop the depth chart in Baltimore, but this is a deeper room than Ravens fans are used to. Hopkins joined the group ahead of his age-33 season, signing a one-year deal worth $6 million in free agency. It's the three-time All-Pro's latest attempt at chasing a Super Bowl after he fell short with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024. He was used sparingly in Kansas City last season, something Baltimore will also have the luxury of doing if they choose to. That is thanks in large part to the presence of Bateman, who is coming off a career year. The 25-year-old should only continue to grow as a player in his fifth season, especially with all the talent around him. Baltimore has not traditionally been recognized for having a strong receiver corps. However, the combination of Flowers, Bateman and Hopkins creates a formidable trio. Wallace, Walker and Wester round out the room, for now, bringing plenty of speed to the table. Anthony Miller, Malik Cunningham, Keith Kirkwood, Dayton Wade, Jahmal Banks, Xavier Guillory are also set to compete for a roster spot in training camp. While it'll take some time for the roster to be finalized, one thing is for certain – this Ravens' offense will be a challenge to deal with in 2025.

Rashod Bateman signs extension with Baltimore Ravens after best NFL season
The Baltimore Ravens have extended former first-round wide receiver Rashod Bateman ahead of his fifth NFL season. The team announced his extension on Thursday morning. Although the Ravens did not reveal any details of the new contract, NBC Sports reported that the 25-year-old signed a three-year, $36.75 million deal, including $20 million in guaranteed money. The extension follows another one last season that tied him to Baltimore through the end of 2026. Bateman's new contract will keep him with the AFC contenders through the 2029 season. Advertisement Baltimore drafted the Minnesota product with the 27th pick in 2021. With the weight of expectations on his shoulders, Bateman's first two seasons in the NFL did not unfold as expected. In 2021, he was placed on injured reserve due to a groin injury and got surgery in September. He was activated the following month but finished his rookie year with just 515 yards and a touchdown. Bateman's sophomore year was also tainted by injuries — this time, with his foot. Despite being a full-time starting wide receiver and a strong start to the season, his campaign ended in November when a nagging foot injury needed to be surgically repaired. He finished the year with 15 catches for 285 receiving yards and two touchdowns in six appearances. After three disappointing runs with the Ravens, Bateman had his best season so far last year with 45 catches in 72 targets for 756 yards and nine touchdowns. Advertisement So far in his NFL career, Bateman has 138 catches for 1,923 yards and 13 touchdowns. The Ravens have made the playoffs in each of the past three seasons, including a Conference Championship berth in 2023 before falling to the Kansas City Chiefs. Baltimore led the AFC North this past season with a 12-5 record. They bested the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round before losing to the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Playoffs. Bateman and Zay Flowers have led the wideouts in Baltimore with the likes of Devontez Walker and LaJohntay Wester as direct backups. However, the Ravens' offseason signing of veteran DeAndre Hopkins could shake up how the playing time is distributed among the catchers.
