Defensive end Derek Wolfe recently signed a one-year, $3 million deal with the Baltimore Ravens. According to him, it was “a no-brainer” decision and he had eyes set on the Ravens for a while now.

In a conference call with Baltimore reporters, Wolfe expressed that the Ravens will have the best defensive line in the NFL.

“We're going to have the best defensive line in the league, for sure,” Wolfe said Friday. “We can break records.”When it comes to our offense getting us up by 10, 20 points a game, it's going to get ugly for these quarterbacks,” Wolfe said.

Wolfe also said that the main reason why he signed with the Ravens was about the opportunity.

“If there was any team I wanted to be with, it was the Ravens,” Wolfe said. “To me, it wasn’t about the money. It was about the team. They gave me their best offer and I said, ‘Yeah, let’s do it. I’ll come in there on a one-year deal, and I’ll show you guys that I’m worth extending for a couple of more years.’ I got a lot of football left in me.”

The Ravens have done a phenomenal job this offseason on revamping their defensive line. They added Pro Bowl defensive end Calais Campbell and resigned Justin Ellis. The Ravens will certainly have one of the best defensive lines in the league after adding Wolfe. This past season with the Denver Broncos, Wolfe recorded a career-high seven sacks in 12 games.

In his eight-year NFL career, Wolfe has recorded 299 tackles, 33 sacks, 15 passes defended, and two fumble recoveries.
