According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the Baltimore Ravens are finalizing a contract extension with offensive coordinator Todd Monken to remain with the organization.
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh had praised Monken, 58, for his work in his first two seasons in Baltimore at a post-season press conference last week: “He’s an old-school football coach with kind of a new-school and creative mind. I really am excited about 3.0, that iteration of this offense going forward, because we found ourselves through the last offseason and into this season, in terms of how we want to organize the offense and tie it all together and use the different platforms that you can use.”
Monken has been with the Ravens for the last two seasons. The new deal comes after Monken led the Ravens to their first ever No. 1 ranking in offense and helped quarterback Lamar Jackson to his best statistical season. During the regular season, Baltimore finished No. 1 in total yards and No. 3 in points, and also finished No. 1 in rushing. Last season, the Ravens led the NFL with 424.9 yards per game, finishing No. 1 in total yards for the first time in the franchise’s 29-year existence.
