Pro Bowl wide receiver Zay Flowers, fresh off signing his four-year extension with the Baltimore Ravens, has expressed his desire for quarterback Lamar Jackson to remain with the team for the long haul. "I'd love for him to be my quarterback to I'm done playing," Flowers stated, emphasizing his belief that Jackson is "the best in the world."

Jackson, a two-time MVP, has two years left on his current contract, and neither he nor the Ravens have commented on ongoing extension negotiations. The Ravens' recent move to extend Flowers through the 2031 season, a deal worth $140 million with $108 million guaranteed, is seen as a significant step to make Baltimore more attractive for Jackson. Flowers and Jackson celebrated the receiver's new deal with a dinner.

Flowers highlighted the strong connection between him and Jackson, noting their complementary playstyles. Since being drafted in 2023, Flowers has quickly become Jackson's primary target, catching as many passes from him over the last three seasons as all other Ravens wide receivers combined. Flowers' new contract sets a record for Ravens receivers in overall value and average annual salary, a welcome change after the team's historically low spending at the position in recent years.
