0:00It's April 8th. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Baltimore Ravens' wide receiver, Zay Flowers, brushed off Jackson Smith-Injigba's massive four-year 168 million 800 thousand. Dollar extension that shook up the wide receiver market. Flowers made it clear he's all in with the Ravens, stating he has zero plans to leave. Ravens face a May 1st deadline to pick up 5th-year options for 2023 first round draft picks, and his is worth 27.3 million dollars. That Seahawks deal for Smith-Injigba came after his dominant run, including a pro-bowl nod in 2024 with 1,130. Receiving yards on 100 catches. Even in 2025, he exploded with 119 receptions for 1,793 yards leading the league. Plus 10 touchdowns, earning all pro honors, and even offensive player of the year.

1:00Flowers has been lighting it up too, snagging back-to-back pro-bowl selections with 85 catches for 1,211 yards and five scores last season. Right now, that 50-year option salary would slot him tied for 12th among top-paid receivers.

But the real talk now is his next long-term deal, with the market price jumping sky-high thanks to Smith-Injigba. As the go-shatians heat up, expect Flowers to cash in big while staying put in Baltimore, helping that dynamic offense rolling strong.
