The Baltimore Ravens just secured one of the league’s biggest defensive superstars for the future, signing their All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton to a four-year extension worth $100.4 million. The deal makes him the highest-paid safety in the NFL, and it is the largest deal for a safety in league history. The contract comes with $82 million guaranteed and an average salary of $25.1 million per year.
No one is deserving of such a deal than Hamilton. He is the best safety in the league and a versatile chess piece that defensive coordinator Zach Orr can use anywhere he wants on the defensive side.
