The 29-year-old lineman agreed to a three-year, $30 million contract with Baltimore, but worries over a high-ankle sprain suffered at the end of last season doomed the deal. Brockers re-signed with the Los Angeles Rams for three years and $31.5 million hours later.After the Ravens missed out on landing Ndamukong Suh—who re-signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers—Baltimore turned its sights to Wolfe.

That season, he recorded 49 tackles and 5.5 sacks, and another 15 tackles and 2.5 sacks during the team’s playoff run.

I will always be a part of the Broncos one way or the other. I have no hard feelings. I get it.” Loved covering him. #Denver7 https://t.co/DmQN6b7xfuHe’ll join a strong list of Ravens newcomers, including defensive end Calais Campbell, as Baltimore’s title chances were convincing enough for Wolfe to leave the Mile High City.
