After the Ravens’ final minicamp practice this offseason, there was a chance the Ravens were moving on from their 2021 first-round pick, Rashod Bateman.
According to The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec, Bateman “wondered if he had played his last game as a Raven.”
Instead, he signed a three-year, $36.75 million contract extension, and will remain in Baltimore through 2029.
But prior, to the deal, Bateman was on the trading block and General Manager Eric DeCosta was looking to make a deal. Reports indicated the Dallas Cowboys were interested in Bateman and he stated he was involved.
