Ravens Re-Sign Key Depth WR

The Baltimore Ravens are bringing back a valuable contributor to both their offense and special teams.

Wide receiver and special teams standout Tylan Wallace is re-signing with the Ravens, according to The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec. FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz reports that it’s a one-year deal worth $2.25 million.

A fourth-round pick in 2021 out of Oklahoma State, Wallace hasn’t had many chances to shine but has made the most of the opportunities he’s been given. His first big moment came in 2023 against the Los Angeles Rams, when he returned a punt 76 yards to help secure a 37-31 overtime victory for the Ravens. His second highlight came in Week 10 of last season against the Cincinnati Bengals, when he sprinted down the sideline for an 84-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Wallace is coming off the most productive receiving season of his career, finishing with 11 catches for 193 yards, including the touchdown against Cincinnati. However, his contributions go beyond just receiving stats.

The 25-year-old plays a crucial role on the Ravens’ special teams, both as a returner and on coverage. One of his key plays came in the Ravens’ critical Week 16 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he pinned the opposing offense at their own 2-yard line. While it didn’t show up on the stat sheet, it was an impactful play.

With other questions on the roster, Wallace could see more action as a returner in 2025, as he only had six returns in 2024.

On offense, Wallace will likely slot in as the No. 4 receiver behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and new addition DeAndre Hopkins, although second-year player Devontez Walker could challenge him for that spot.
