Ravens Sign No. 1 Pick, Zay Flowers
Baltimore Ravens rookie wideout and former first-round draft pick Zay Flowers has signed with the team per multiple reports.
The 5-9, 183-pound Flowers was selected with the 22nd overall pick, which slots him at $14M, and his $7.2M signing bonus will be paid entirely in the 2023 season.
Flowers was the last of the multiple first-round wideout selections who have signed with their teams, as Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Quentin Johnston and Jordan Addison have all agreed to terms for their four-year rookie deals that all feature fifth-year team options.
Flowers was the last of the six Ravens draft picks to sign.
Flowers hopes to be an integral part of a new-look Ravens offense. That new offense features a newly re-signed Lamar Jackson under center, and wideouts Nelson Agholor and Odell Beckham Jr., as well as new offensive coordinator Todd Monken.
This year's draft had a record four wide receivers selected in the first round, and Flowers represents the fifth first-round wideout on the Ravens' roster. Those include Beckham (2014), Agholor (2015), Laquon Treadwell (2016), and Rashod Bateman (2021).
Flowers led his team at Boston College in receiving for three straight seasons, including a 2022 campaign that saw him catch 78 balls for 1,077 yards and 12 touchdowns.
The Ravens are hoping Flowers can find that kind of production at the next level with former league MVP Jackson throwing him the ball.
