The Baltimore Ravens are considering extending defensive back Kyle Hamilton, who has two years left on his current contract. Hamilton, drafted 14th overall in 2022, has quickly become a pivotal part of the Ravens' defense. ESPN's Dan Graziano speculates that talks for a new long-term deal could commence this offseason, potentially involving a four-year contract valued at $88 million with $50 million guaranteed. The Ravens have historically preferred not to utilize franchise tags on cornerstone players like Hamilton and are likely to seek a resolution soon to avoid complications down the line.

Antoine Winfield Jr.'s recent extension has set a new benchmark for safeties, leading to expectations that Hamilton could command a higher annual salary if negotiations are delayed. The Ravens' general manager, Eric DeCosta, has hinted at the team's intention to retain key young players from the 2022 draft class, and Hamilton is a clear priority.
