Ravens Sign Hendrickson, Face Offseason Challenges

0:00On March 11th, the Baltimore Ravens have signed defensive in Trey Hendrickson to a four-year deal worth $112 million. This comes right after a proposed trade for Max Crosby fell apart when Crosby failed his physical. Hendrickson, who turns 33 soon, will earn $28 million a year, keeping him in the tough AFC North Division. Earlier this week, the Ravens moved fast to avoid leaving empty-handed in free agency. Hendrickson had a down-year last season with just seven games and four sex after back-to-backed strong campaigns. Meanwhile, Baltimore has lost several key players like Tyler Lindarbaum, Dreymon Jones, and Patrick Ricard, with only John Simpson added besides, Hendrickson. Brown's fans and other rivals see this as a win since Hendrickson has solid stat against Cleveland but isn't at Crosby's elite level. The move highlights Baltimore's rough start to the off-season amid a coaching shake-up that includes a new head coach after John Harbaugh's departure.

1:01On-going losses could melt, with free agents like Calvin Noy, Chidobio Woosey, and the Andre Hopkins still unsigned and potentially leaving. General manager Eric DeCosta now faces skepticism from other teams after the Crosby Mishap, making future deals harder. In a bruising AFC North, these stumbles give the Bengals, Steelers, and Browns some breathing room as the Raven Scramble to rebuild.
