Overview
- The Ravens signed second-round pick Zion Young on Tuesday, making him the last of their 11 2026 draftees to reach a contract and placing him on the team's 90-man offseason roster.
- OverTheCap reported that Young's four-year rookie deal is worth about $15.28 million with a $4.67 million signing bonus, though the team did not disclose official terms.
- Coach Jesse Minter called Young a high-upside, physical player who can contribute early, and the team expects him to be evaluated in offseason programs for a rotational role.
- Young arrives off a 2025 season at Missouri with 42 tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks and two forced fumbles, and he was a two-year starter, team captain and durable player after transferring from Michigan State.
- The signing fits Baltimore's effort to fix a thin pass rush after a 2025 season with just 30 sacks and follows the addition of veteran Trey Hendrickson, with Young set to compete with Tavius Robinson and Mike Green for edge snaps.
