The Ravens have exercised the fifth-year option for safety Kyle Hamilton but declined to do so for center Tyler Linderbaum, though general manager Eric DeCosta said the team hopes to keep both in the organization long-term.

The Baltimore Ravens landed a stud in the 2022 NFL draft when they selected standout safety Kyle Hamilton with their No. 14 overall pick. Now one of the league's best defensive players, Hamilton is heading into his fourth season with the Ravens — making him eligible for a long-term contract extension.

The Ravens picked up Hamilton’s fifth-year option but did not pick up Linderbaum’s. Neither of these decisions come as a surprise as the Ravens will work with both to get them both signed to long-term extensions.
