Ravens News 3/11: Rare Talent

Ravens give big money to DT Justin Madubuike

The deal: Four years, $98 million with $75.5 million in total guarantees

Grade: B+

The 2024 defensive tackle market has been set. After franchise-tagging Madubuike before the deadline earlier this week, he’s now locked in for four years at $24.5 million per year, with a huge guarantee of $53.5 million due at signing. Compare that with Javon Hargrave’s four-year, $84 million with $40 million guaranteed and the 26-year-old has moved the recent market forward (though Aaron Donald blew it out of the water in 2022).
