Less than 24 hours after the Ravens\u2019 trade for Maxx Crosby fell through, the team agreed to terms with Trey Hendrickson. While on the surface it appeared Hendrickson was the consolation prize, General Manager Eric DeCosta previously insisted the Ravens wanted to add both edge rushers.<\/p>\n

That was Hendrickson\u2019s understanding of the situation, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was looking forward to rushing<\/a> with him,\u201d Hendrickson said during an appearance on Terron Armstead\u2019s The Set podcast. \u201cLike what an incredible opportunity that would have been to have a bookends like that terrorizing quarterbacks, getting running backs to the ground. That\u2019s what got me excited.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hendrickson got his long-term deal from a team he considers a contender. The Ravens signed a much-needed edge rusher, who led the NFL in sacks in 2024 with 17.5. <\/p>\n

Hendrickson said he believes he has his best chance to reach the Super Bowl since the 2021 Cincinnati team got there.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I look back, maybe I\u2019ll be more appreciative of how special that team was, but right now I\u2019m on the hunt for one thing and that\u2019s to win it all,\u201d Hendrickson said. \u201cI\u2019m incredibly blessed to be in an opportunity representing organizations that have done it. I\u2019m excited to be a part of something that there is potential. When you\u2019re talking about No. 8 [Lamar Jackson]throwing the ball around, like, you know it\u2019s a quarterback-driven league. Sean Payton talked about that when I was a rookie [in New Orleans]. There might be 32 teams, but there\u2019s about seven or eight that can win it all, and we\u2019ve got one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Less than 24 hours after the Ravens\u2019 trade for Maxx Crosby fell through, the team agreed to terms…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":549618,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-549617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=549617"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549617\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/549618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=549617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=549617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=549617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
