Baltimore Ravens have landed one of the NFL’s premier pass rushers, signing four-time Pro Bowl defender Trey Hendrickson to a massive four-year contract worth $112 million, according to a source familiar with the agreement who spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The source requested anonymity since the deal cannot be officially completed until the new league year begins at 4 p.m. Eastern time.
This signing comes after Baltimore withdrew from a major trade deal for Las Vegas Raiders star pass rusher Maxx Crosby on Tuesday night. According to a source with knowledge of the situation, Crosby did not pass his medical examination. The source spoke anonymously due to the confidential nature of medical information.
With the failed Crosby trade behind them, Baltimore retained the pair of first-round selections they would have sent to Las Vegas and immediately shifted focus to landing the top available pass rusher in free agency.
The 31-year-old Hendrickson earned All-Pro recognition with Cincinnati in 2024, topping the league with 17.5 quarterback sacks. His 2023 campaign was limited to just seven contests due to injury concerns, during which he recorded four sacks.
Throughout his nine-year professional career split between New Orleans and Cincinnati, Hendrickson has accumulated 81 career sacks. He has achieved double-digit sack totals in four different seasons, including back-to-back 17.5-sack campaigns in 2023 and 2024.
