The Baltimore Ravens locked up a key piece of their future on Friday, agreeing to a four-year contract extension with defensive tackle Justin Madubuike.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the four-year deal is worth $98 million, meaning Madubuike is the second-highest paid defensive tackle in the NFL behind Los Angeles Rams star Aaron Donald.
Madubuike, a third-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft, was given the non-exclusive franchise tag earlier this week to ensure he wouldn’t hit free agency. Madubuike now is under contract through the 2027 NFL season.
