The Ravens initially pursued a blockbuster trade for star edge rusher Maxx Crosby but backed out after he failed his physical, as reported by AP News. A person with knowledge of Baltimore's decision told The Associated Press that Crosby failed his physical. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because those results are private.
With the trade falling through, the Ravens retained their two first-round draft picks and quickly pivoted to sign Hendrickson, who led the NFL with 17.5 sacks in 2024 while playing for the Bengals. Despite injuries limiting him to seven games last season, he has a proven track record with 81 sacks over nine seasons with New Orleans and Cincinnati.
