The Baltimore Ravens were hoping to get some premium pass-rush help on the cheap earlier this offseason. After the Green Bay Packers cut loose Pro Bowl edge rusher Za’Darius Smith, they sought to reunite with their former draft pick, agreeing to terms on a four-year, $35 million contract that was worth up to $50 million.
However, after other prominent edge rushers signed their deals, most notably Von Miller agreeing to join the Buffalo Bills on a six-year, $120 million deal, he had a change of heart, and never signed, believing that he could get more from another team.
