The Baltimore Ravens have put the franchise tag on Justin Madubuike after the defensive tackle finished his rookie contract with a breakout season in 2023. The franchise tag for defensive tackles comes with a one-year cost of just over $22 million. Madubuike and the Ravens can continue negotiating for a longer deal with a preseason deadline of July 15. The Ravens used the franchise tag on star quarterback Lamar Jackson last offseason, but were able to reach a long-term contract with him several weeks later.
