The extension is a $98 million deal that includes $75.5 million total in guarantees and $53.5 million at signing, per ESPN. 

“We are pleased to announce a four-year extension with Justin Madubuike,” Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said, via the team’s X account (formerly known as Twitter). “Justin is one of the best defensive tackles in the entire NFL and a cornerstone on our defense.

“We are thrilled for Justin and his family and equally happy for our fanbase. This is a great way to start the new league year!”
