While the Baltimore Ravens' star wide receiver Zay Flowers is eligible for a contract extension this offseason, his primary focus remains squarely on the field. The recent market-setting deal for fellow 2023 first-round pick Jaxon Smith-Njigba in Seattle has naturally drawn comparisons, but Flowers is letting his agents handle the business side for now.

"I'm not really paying attention to it," Flowers said this week, offering congratulations to Smith-Njigba while emphasizing his commitment to football. However, he made one thing perfectly clear about his future: his heart is in Baltimore.

"I don't want to go nowhere else," Flowers stated emphatically. This declaration of loyalty will be welcome news for Ravens fans who watched the dynamic playmaker become a central figure in the offense during his rookie campaign.

The Ravens hold a significant card with the ability to exercise the fifth-year option on Flowers' rookie contract, which would guarantee him a hefty salary for the 2027 season. While that remains a strong possibility if a long-term deal isn't reached by the May deadline, Flowers' expressed desire to stay suggests both sides are motivated to find an agreement that keeps the electric receiver in purple and black for the long haul.
