The Baltimore Ravens signed defensive end Trey Hendrickson to a four-year deal worth up to $120 million. The move came one day after the team backed out of the Maxx Crosby trade. The need was real. Baltimore had just 30 sacks in 2025. That is not good enough.
Hendrickson has the resume. He posted back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons and led the NFL in sacks in 2024. He is one of the better pass rushers of his generation. The concerns are fair, too. He is 31. He missed most of last season with a core muscle injury. The Ravens walked away from Crosby over medical concerns, then signed Hendrickson anyway. That raised some eyebrows around the league.
But here is the thing — before 2025, Hendrickson had barely missed a game in his career. One bad injury year does not erase that track record. At $28 million per year, this is not a bargain. But if he stays healthy, the Ravens got exactly what they needed. That is the best. It is a reasonable one.
