The Baltimore Ravens have signed All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton to a four-year, $100.4 million contract extension that includes $82 million in guarantees, the team announced Wednesday. The agreement, which carries an average annual value of $25.1 million, makes the 24-year-old the highest-paid safety in NFL history. Hamilton’s deal eclipses the four-year, $86 million pact Detroit’s Kerby Joseph secured in April and continues a sharp rise in pay for top defensive backs. Baltimore locked in Hamilton with two seasons still remaining on his rookie contract, ensuring the former first-round pick remains under team control through 2029. Since entering the league as the No. 14 pick in 2022, the Notre Dame product has appeared in 48 of 51 possible regular-season games, earning two Pro Bowl selections and consecutive All-Pro honors while anchoring one of the NFL’s stingiest secondaries. The extension underscores general manager Eric DeCosta’s focus on retaining home-grown talent amid upcoming contract questions for quarterback Lamar Jackson and several 2026 free agents.
