Commanders were chasing another defensive difference-maker before sudden shift
"According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Ravens have agreed to terms with Hendrickson on a four-year, $120 million deal with $60 million guaranteed. That is a lot of money, but it apparently didn't stop the Commanders from being heavily involved in negotiations."
"ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler named the Commanders among those who were in the mix for Hendrickson. Beat writer John Keim went one step further, claiming Washington was heavily involved right until the end before the Ravens came in over the top."
"Peters was not satisfied. Oweh will help, of course, but the Commanders' lack of consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks last season was a problem he didn't want to see again."
The Washington Commanders remained heavily involved in negotiations for All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson despite already signing pass-rusher Odafe Oweh. The Baltimore Ravens, after backing out of a trade for Maxx Crosby due to knee injury concerns, pivoted to Hendrickson and secured him with a four-year, $120 million contract featuring $60 million guaranteed. General manager Adam Peters pursued Hendrickson aggressively until the end, seeking to address the team's quarterback pressure issues from the previous season. The Ravens ultimately outbid the Commanders, providing Hendrickson with both the financial package and team fit he desired. Peters subsequently settled on K'Lavon Chaisson as an alternative edge rusher.
