In the NFL, trades and major signings often generate excitement long before the ink is dry. Teams spend weeks negotiating deals, evaluating players, and planning how a new acquisition might reshape their roster.

The Baltimore Ravens are reportedly signing star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson to a four-year deal worth up to $120 million. Before the Ravens swooped in to sign Hendrickson, Ian Rapoport reported that the Colts "were in the pole position" for the pass rusher.

Bengals star Ja'Marr Chase unleashed an expletive-filled rant on a livestream after learning the Ravens traded for Raiders pass rusher Maxx Crosby.

Dre'Mont Jones is heading to New England, and it's easy to believe that several Ravens are paying attention.
