The Baltimore Ravens have signed edge rusher Trey Hendrickson to a four-year contract after their pursuit of Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby was unsuccessful, according to multiple reports.

The Ravens had initially targeted Crosby in a potential trade, but those negotiations fell through, prompting the team to pivot to Hendrickson, who was previously with the Cincinnati Bengals. Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta expressed disappointment over the failed Crosby trade, stating he was "gutted" by the outcome.

According to sources, the Ravens had ambitious plans to acquire both pass rushers rather than viewing them as alternative options. DeCosta reportedly wanted to add both Crosby and Hendrickson to strengthen Baltimore's pass rush significantly.

The Ravens' successful pursuit of Hendrickson came as a surprise overnight move that affected other teams in the market for pass rushing help. The Indianapolis Colts, who had also been pursuing Hendrickson to address what was considered their biggest roster need, were forced to look elsewhere after Baltimore's late push secured the player.

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles have officially confirmed changes to their coaching staff, announcing new hires and title modifications across their organization. The timing of various NFL roster and staff moves reflects the ongoing offseason activity as teams prepare for the upcoming season.
