Baltimore Ravens nose tackle John Jenkins agreed to a contract extension for the first time in his 13-year NFL career.
The Ravens announced the one-year extension after practice Friday. Financial terms were not disclosed, however multiple media outlets reported it was worth approximately $2 million.
“Here, I’m just doing my job and trying to be the best that I can,” Jenkins said. “But it takes two to tango in regards of, ‘Hey, I want you to stay here, and I love the way how you present yourself, and you (bring) good value to our organization.’ I appreciate that, and I’m very grateful for that.”
Jenkins, 36, has recorded 36 tackles, two forced fumbles and one sack in 16 games (13 starts) this season. He stepped into the starting lineup after two-time Pro Bowl selection Nnamdi Madubuike was placed on injured reserve with a neck injury earlier this season.
Jenkins has totaled 355 tackles, 5.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in 166 career games (77 starts) with the New Orleans Saints (2013-16), Seattle Seahawks (2016), Chicago Bears (2017, 2020), New York Giants (2018), Miami Dolphins (2019, 2021-22), Las Vegas Raiders (2023-24) and Ravens (2025). He was selected by the Saints in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft.
