OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Rashod Bateman has had his moments during his three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, but injuries prevented him from making a consistent impact early on. Then in 2023 he was mostly healthy but finished sixth on the team in yards receiving. Baltimore still gave him a contract extension in April. With Odell Beckham Jr. no longer in the fold, the Ravens may need more from Bateman in the future. Bateman said the extension "came out of nowhere" and it shows the team believes in him.
