NFL insider Jordan Schultz said an NFL general manager has the Ravens pursuing All-Pro pass rusher Trey Hendrickson. The Cincinnati Bengals star has been linked to several teams as the 31-year-old becomes a free agent on Wednesday.
Several NFL teams are likely to have interest in both Crosby and Hendrickson; However, Baltimore won’t get many flowers for how they’ve handled the Raiders situation.
Las Vegas has created a buzz this offseason with trade proposals for Tyler Linderbaum, Nakobe Dean and Quay Walker. Reports indicate that the Raiders have allocated more than $260 million to proposed free agents.

It’s clear that new Baltimore head coach Jesse Minter wants to strengthen the Ravens defense. A move for Hendrickson would certainly accomplish that after recording 17.5 sacks in 2023 and 2024.

Meanwhile, Hendrickson’s impending free agent status would allow Baltimore to retain its multiple first-round picks. Baltimore originally proposed the 2026 and 2027 first rounds in the failed Crosby trade.
