Baltimore Ravens' NFL free-agent signings 2022: Za'Darius Smith backs out, pass-rush search continues

NFL free agency is off and running, and we're keeping track of every major signing, trade and release of the 2022 offseason, with analysis from our NFL Nation reporters and grades from our experts. The new league year began Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET, which meant free-agent signings could be made official after that. The first round of the 2022 NFL draft begins April 28 on ESPN.

One deal that wasn't made official and ultimately fell through was one for linebacker Za'Darius Smith, who decided not to sign a four-year, $35 million deal with Baltimore.
