Pro Bowler signs enormous $98 million contract with Ravens
A crucial member of the Baltimore Ravens’ renowned defense from the previous campaign was locked up on Friday.
According to reports, Justin Madubuike, a top defensive tackle, has agreed to a 4-year, $98 million contract with the Ravens. ESPN reporter Adam Schefter reports that the agreement contains $53.5 million at signing and a total of $75.5 million in guarantees.
In 2023, Madubuike’s campaign was a hit. With 13.0 sacks, which was ninth in the NFL, he led the Ravens. In addition, he recorded 33 quarterback hits and 56 total tackles.
In addition to being selected second-team All-Pro, the four-year veteran received his first Pro Bowl selection last season. He was even nominated for the Defensive Player of the Year award.
Earlier this week, Madubuike was used by the Ravens to represent their franchise. If the team hadn’t signed the 26-year-old to a new contract, he would have counted for $22 million against the cap. The team will have about $10 million in cap space left over when free agency begins thanks to the Madubuike agreement.
It is anticipated that the Ravens will actively pursue elite free agents. Recently, the team has been connected to two All-Pro players: a well-known running back and a former star wide receiver.
