Rashod Bateman aims to 'flip that narrative' of Ravens WRs after extension

Rashod Bateman, a Baltimore Ravens wide receiver, is determined to change the longstanding perception of the team's wideouts after signing a three-year, $36.75 million contract extension. Bateman, who had a career-best season with 756 yards and nine touchdowns, aims to contribute significantly alongside fellow wide receiver Zay Flowers. With veteran DeAndre Hopkins joining the team, Bateman sees a positive impact from Hopkins' experience and mentorship. The Ravens have also signed cornerback Jaire Alexander, strengthening their defense and promising competitive practice sessions. Bateman expressed confidence in quarterback Lamar Jackson, noting his readiness for a successful, vengeful 2025 season following a playoff disappointment. Overall, the Ravens are focused on improving their performance and eyeing a championship run.
