The Ravens were initially expected to acquire elite pass rusher Maxx Crosby from the Las Vegas Raiders in a major trade. But that deal suddenly collapsed. Reports indicated the trade was called off after complications during the evaluation process, forcing Baltimore to pivot quickly.
Within hours, the Ravens turned their attention to Hendrickson, one of the most productive edge rushers available on the market. The result was a massive agreement that could reach as high as $120 million with incentives. The deal reportedly includes $60 million fully guaranteed and a $20 million signing bonus, signaling just how valuable the team believes he will be to their defense.
For fans wondering about his age and what it means for this contract, Hendrickson is entering his early thirties, a stage where many defensive linemen still perform at an elite level. And his recent production suggests he still has plenty left in the tank.
Before hitting free agency, Hendrickson built his reputation with the Cincinnati Bengals , where he became one of the league’s most feared pass rushers. He is a four-time Pro Bowler and even led the NFL in sacks in 2024 with an impressive 17.5. In fact, he recorded 17.5 sacks in back-to-back seasons before injuries limited his playing time in 2025.
Now he stays in the AFC North division, but with a new uniform. That means he will face his former team twice every season, including matchups against Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow . Those games instantly become must-watch battles.
For Baltimore, the signing sends a clear message. After the failed Crosby trade, the franchise still found a way to secure a dominant pass rusher capable of transforming its defensive front. Hendrickson’s ability to pressure quarterbacks, disrupt plays and create turnovers could reshape the Ravens’ defense as they chase another deep playoff run.
For Hendrickson himself, the move represents both a massive payday and a chance to prove that even at 31, he remains one of the NFL’s elite defensive weapons.
And as free agency continues to reshape teams across the league, this signing may end up being one of the most impactful moves of the entire offseason.
