The Baltimore Ravens have agreed to sign free agent defensive end Trey Hendrickson, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The news comes after Baltimore canceled blockbuster trade for Maxx Crosby.
Baltimore's title odds improved immediately following news of the Crosby trade deal and initial loss of Hendrickson, going from 11/1 to 10/1
By Wednesday morning, their Super Bowl odds shifted to 14-1.
The sides agreed to a four-year, $112 million deal that can be worth up to $120 million with incentives, according to Schefter. The deal includes $60 million fully guaranteed and a $20 million signing bonus, sources told Schefter.
Hendrickson, a four-time Pro Bowler with the Cincinnati Bengals, will provide the Ravens with a much-needed star pass rusher less than 24 hours after Baltimore backed out of its trade with the Las Vegas Raiders for Crosby.
League sources told ESPN that the Ravens had medical concerns that arose during Crosby's physical. Trades are contingent on players passing a physical and aren't official until the start of the new league year Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET.
