Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Ravens secured solid value by locking up Jaylon Hawkins at $5.0M AAV, a deal that earns a B+ CVI and represents a fair price for proven depth at safety. While Hawkins profiles as a depth piece rather than a featured starter, Baltimore is paying appropriately for his tier — avoiding the premium costs that come with marquee free agents while securing reliable insurance behind their primary safeties. At this stage of his career, the four-year commitment shows the organization values his consistency and special teams contributions, though the modest $5.0M guaranteed suggests they're not betting heavily on significant upside. The contract structure limits Baltimore's risk exposure while giving them flexibility to either develop Hawkins into a larger role or maintain him as quality depth without salary cap strain. This is exactly the type of prudent roster building that championship contenders execute — identifying solid role players and signing them before they price themselves out of range, giving the Ravens dependable safety depth at a manageable cost.

Performance Analysis

Jaylon Hawkins grades as a rotational player among NFL safeties — a below-average player at the position. His strongest area is interceptions at 0.27 (well above the NFL average of 0.16), ranking as well above average for the position. Tackling, at 4.73 compared to an NFL average of 3.85, is where he falls short relative to the position. His 2025 season graded as a B-, a significant jump from his F mark in 2024.

Fan Sentiment

Baltimore lands a reliable veteran safety on a sensible two-year deal. Multiple outlets covered the signing, confirming Ravens poached Hawkins directly from New England's roster. The key signal is Hawkins fits coordinator Minter's defensive scheme, per his own reported comments. Fans are buzzing about secondary depth after losing key contributors this offseason. Hawkins projects as a dependable rotational safety who could earn starting snaps by Year 2.
