Ravens GM Eric DeCosta noted that the team was planning to acquire pass rushers Trey Hendrickson and Maxx Crosby regardless of whether or not Crosby’s trade fell through. Hendrickson spoke about missing out on the chance to play alongside Crosby and noted that he still likes Baltimore’s chances of making a run at the Super Bowl.
“I was looking forward to rushing with him,” Hendrickson said on Terron Armstead’s The Set podcast. “Like what an incredible opportunity that would have been to have a bookends like that terrorizing quarterbacks, getting running backs to the ground. That’s what got me excited. When I look back, maybe I’ll be more appreciative of how special (the Bengals were), but right now I’m on the hunt for one thing, and that’s to win it all. I’m incredibly blessed to be in an opportunity representing organizations that have done it. I’m excited to be a part of something that there is potential. When you’re talking about No. 8 [Lamar Jackson]throwing the ball around, like, you know it’s a quarterback-driven league. Sean Payton talked about that when I was a rookie [in New Orleans]. There might be 32 teams, but there’s about seven or eight that can win it all, and we’ve got one of them.”
