On Wednesday, Baltimore Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta announced they have signed safety Kyle Hamilton to a four-year contract extension. According to DeCosta, Hamilton had just signed the deal earlier in the day. The deal makes Hamilton the highest-paid safety in the NFL.
The terms and numbers regarding the contract extension have not yet been released but DeCosta on multiple occasions proudly stated Hamilton is the highest-paid safety and the contract reflects how the organization feels about
Hamilton.
“I think one of the things you love about Kyle is he’s a unicorn. He can do many different things. He does them all very well. He can be used in a lot of different positions. We’ve had to move him around quite a bit. I wouldn’t say that the improvement of our defense was strictly tied to Kyle last year, but he made it easier for us to put players in different positions.”
Hamilton, 24, enters his fourth NFL season with numerous accolades. Twice, Hamilton’s made the Pro Bowl and he’s earned First-Team All-Pro (2023) and Second-Team All-Pro (2024).
