Baltimore Ravens reacted swiftly after seeing their deal with defensive tackle Michael Brockers collapse. According to ESPN, Ravens reached an agreement with former Denver Broncos’ defensive end Derek Wolfe, who will join the organization on a one-year contract.

The sources close to the organization say that Wolfe agreed to a base salary of $3 million. He can earn up to $6 million based on incentives.

Wolfe had a career year in 2019, managing 34 tackles, 7.0 sacks, and a forced fumble in 12 games he played.

Baltimore Ravens entered the offseason needing to fill a hole in their defensive line. The team initially hoped that Brockers will help fix the issue, agreeing a three-year, $30 million contract with the player at the start of free agency. However, the deal didn’t go through due to Ravens’ concerns about the 29-year-old’s ankle injury. Brockers ended up returning to Los Angeles Rams shortly after.

Derek Wolfe made his debut in NFL in 2012, when Broncos took him in the second round of that year’s draft. Wolfe was a solid starter for Denver over the years, although he only played all 16 games three times, battling several injuries.

Wolfe’s career stats include 299 tackles, 33.0 sacks, 15 pass deflections, and one interception. He was part of the Broncos team that won Super Bowl 50.

Wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders and defensive end Derek Wolfe will remain with the Denver Broncos for at least one more year. Broncos’ general manager John Elway told reporters on Wednesday that the team plans to pick up options for 2019 on both Sanders and Wolfe’s contract.

By keeping Emmanuel Sanders on the roster, Denver is betting that the 31-year-old will completely recover from the ACL tear he suffered last season. Sanders played 12 games in 2018, during which he had 71 receptions for 868 receiving yards and four touchdowns. He is set to earn $10.15 million this year.

“I love the way Emmanuel Sanders plays the game,” – said Elway of Sanders according to the Denver Post. “I love his heart. I love his competitiveness. He would be a great asset for us. But the question is how he is going to come off that Achilles at 31 years old? We’ll be in the process in figuring that out.”

Derek Wolfe played all 16 games last season, and ended the year with 43 tackles, 1.5 sacks, six passes defended and one interception. Wolfe, who was Broncos’ 36th overall pick in 2012, will make $8 million in 2019.
