Madubuike agreed to a four-year, $98 million deal with the Ravens on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Baltimore placed the franchise tag on Madubuike less than a week ago, but the two sides have now come to a long-term extension. According to Schefter, $75.5 million of Madubuike's contract is guaranteed and he received $53.5 million at signing. The 26-year-old defensive lineman is coming off the best season of his career, recording 56 total tackles, including 13.0 sacks, while also forcing two fumbles and receiving second-team All-Pro honors in 2023. Madubuike is now the second-highest paid interior defensive lineman in the NFL with a $24.5 million annual salary, and he's expected to continue wreaking havoc on opposing offenses for years to come.
The Ravens officially placed the franchise tag on Madubuike on Tuesday. Madubuike will earn $22.1 million in guaranteed money for the 2024 campaign if he plays on the franchise tag, but he and Baltimore have until mid-July to continue negotiating a long-term deal. The 2020 third-round pick is coming off a breakout season in which he racked up 38 tackles, 13.0 sacks and two forced fumbles across 17 regular-season games, while earning his first Pro Bowl nod. In his previous three seasons combined, Madubuike had totaled 8.5 sacks.
Madubuike has picked up at least a half-sack in eight straight games dating back to Week 4, and he's up to a career-best 9.5 sacks on the campaign. That total places him in a tie for fourth in the NFL. Madubuike has emerged as a solid IDP option this season, as the 9.5 sacks are more than the 8.5 he compiled over his first three campaigns combined.
