Jaylinn Hawkins Signs with Baltimore Ravens
Jaylinn Hawkins plans to sign a two-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens, valued at a total of $10 million. This move comes after a standout performance during the 2025 season with the New England Patriots, where Hawkins established himself as a key player in the team’s defense.
In the 2025 season, Hawkins started all 15 regular-season games he participated in, recording 71 tackles, which included 1.5 sacks. He also contributed significantly in the passing game, adding six passes defensed and leading the Patriots with four interceptions.
Hawkins’s previous contract was a one-year extension worth $2.3 million, and his new deal reflects a substantial increase in value, with an average annual value (AAV) of $5 million. This contract marks a significant step in Hawkins’s career, especially considering he was a fourth-round draft pick in 2020.
His performance in the 2025 season was noted as a career year, showcasing his ability to make impactful plays on the field. Observers had anticipated that Hawkins would attract interest from multiple teams, given his contributions to the Patriots’ defense.
The Ravens are expected to benefit from Hawkins’s skills as they look to strengthen their secondary. His ability to create turnovers and tackle effectively will be crucial as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the official signing date and any additional terms of the contract. However, Hawkins’s transition to the Ravens is seen as a positive development for both the player and the team.
