NFL analysts are praising the Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive signings during the early 2026 free agency period, highlighted in prior coverage of the team's first-week moves. Experts like Gregg Rosenthal, John Breech, and Kay Adams see improved depth addressing last season's secondary woes.
Defensive end Trey Hendrickson agreed to a four-year, $112 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens less than 24 hours after their trade for Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby collapsed due to a failed physical. Hendrickson revealed he anticipated rushing alongside Crosby on the Ravens' defensive line. He now joins a star-studded Baltimore defense featuring Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry on offense.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing veteran running back and special teams player Travis Homer, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The move deepens the running back room following Kenneth Gainwell's exit and Rico Dowdle's signing. It places added pressure on second-year back Kaleb Johnson, who struggled in his 2025 rookie season.
The Baltimore Ravens abruptly withdrew from a proposed trade for Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby on Tuesday night due to concerns about his left knee recovery from January surgery for a meniscus tear. The deal, which would have sent two first-round picks to the Raiders, fell through at the eleventh hour, leaving Crosby with the Raiders amid their ongoing spending spree. The Ravens quickly pivoted, agreeing to a four-year, $112 million contract with former Cincinnati Bengals edge rusher Trey Hendrickson on Wednesday morning.
