Overview
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Baltimore agreed to terms with Jaylinn Hawkins on a two-year, $10 million contract.
- Hawkins is coming off a career-best season in New England with 71 tackles, four interceptions, 1.5 sacks and a top-tier Pro Football Focus grade.
- Yahoo Sports notes the Ravens targeted Hawkins after losing Ar’Darius Washington and Alohi Gilman on the first day of free agency, projecting him as a fit alongside Kyle Hamilton and Malaki Starks.
- The reported deal arrives the same day the Patriots added All-Pro safety Kevin Byard on a one-year, $9 million contract.
- New England is also seeing defensive turnover with K’Lavon Chaisson heading to Washington on a one-year, $12 million deal and roster moves that leave cap space to retool.
