Justin Madubuike Gets Ravens' Franchise Tag; Will Make $22M on Contract
The Baltimore Ravens have placed the franchise tag on Pro Bowl defensive lineman Justin Madubuike, and he is now set to make $22 million in 2024.
The Ravens selected Madubuike with a third-round draft pick in 2020. The former Texas A&M star became a full-time starter one year later.
Madubuike gradually got better each season and racked up 5.5 sacks in 2022. He then enjoyed a breakout year in his fourth NFL season, amassing career-highs with 13 sacks, 56 tackles (38 solo), 33 quarterback hits and 12 tackles for loss.
He was arguably the most invaluable member of a Ravens' defense that allowed the NFL's fewest points per game.
