Ravens-Crosby Trade Collapses
The Ravens' trade for Maxx Crosby fell through due to knee recovery concerns, so they signed Trey Hendrickson to a 4-year, $120M deal with $60M guaranteed 8,9,10.
The Ravens were reportedly close to acquiring Crosby, but the team's medical staff raised concerns after reviewing his knee. Details of the knee issue haven't been released, but it was enough to derail the deal. Hendrickson's contract averages $30 million per year, a significant investment for Baltimore's defense. He will be expected to bolster their pass rush immediately. The Bengals were likely unwilling to match the Ravens' offer for Hendrickson, paving the way for him to switch AFC North rivals. Cincinnati may now need to explore other options to improve their defensive line.
