The Baltimore Ravens reached agreement with standout defensive tackle Justin Madubuike on a four-year contract Friday. It is worth $98 million, according to multiple reports.

The reports also peg the guarantees at $75.5 million, including $53.5 million as a signing bonus.

Los Angeles Rams star Aaron Donald ($31.66 million) is the only defensive tackle with a higher average annual salary than Madubuike’s $24.5 million average.

“Justin is one of the best defensive tackles in the entire NFL and a cornerstone on our defense,” Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said in a news release. “This is a great way to start the new league year!”

The deal comes three days after the Ravens placed the franchise tag ($22.1 million in 2024) on Madubuike. But negotiations continued, resulting in the long-term deal.

Madubuike, 26, had 13 sacks and 33 quarterback hits in 2023 while earning his first Pro Bowl selection. He registered 56 tackles in 17 games.

The 2020 third-round pick has 21.5 sacks and 153 tackles in 59 career games (47 starts) with the Ravens.
