Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton has emerged as one of the league’s top young defenders.
A first-round pick in 2022, he’s also nearing the end of his rookie contract. While the Ravens haven’t formally announced they’re picking up his fifth-year option, it would be a major surprise if they didn’t do so.
But Hamilton is also eligible for a contract extension, one that could make him one of the NFL’s highest-paid defensive backs.
On the first day of Baltimore’s offseason program, Hamilton told reporters that he’s in no hurry to receive a second deal.
“[H]aven’t had too many talks about it, to be honest,” Hamilton said Monday, via Jamison Hensley of ESPN.
