The Baltimore Ravens signed pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson to a four-year, $112 million contract with $60 million guaranteed. Coach Jesse Minter highlighted Hendrickson's ability to finish games, noting he has 26.5 fourth-quarter sacks since 2021, second in the NFL. Baltimore has blown an NFL-worst 16 leads in the final five minutes over the last five seasons, making Hendrickson's clutch performance record a key factor in the signing. Hendrickson attributes his fourth-quarter success to intrinsic motivation and a desire to help his team win. The signing came after Baltimore's trade for Las Vegas Raiders pass-rusher Maxx Crosby fell through due to medical concerns during his physical.
"When we talk about being able to have a closer mentality and finish games and dominate in the fourth quarter, Trey is the epitome of that [with] how he's played the last four or five years. Minter brought up the statistic about how Hendrickson is second in the NFL in fourth-quarter sacks since 2021 with 26.5."
"I think winning on defense and getting the ball back to your quarterback is something that I'm motivated to do. I want the other 10 guys to count on me. If we're in a place and it's a pinch, you got to have gas in the tank and you got to be able to push when everybody else doesn't want to."
