Four-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Trey Hendrickson has agreed on a four-year, $112 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because those results are private. So the Ravens quickly pivoted to the best pass rusher on the market.
