Terms had not yet been released, though various reports said
the Ravens would receive fourth and fifth round draft picks in
return.
The Ravens had been trying to work out a contract extension with
Ngata, but were unsuccessful and decided to ship him to another
team minutes before free agency opened.
Detroit had a big hole to fill at defensive tackle after failing
to re-sign four-time Pro Bowler Ndamukong Suh.
Ngata, an anchor of the Ravens defensive line for nine seasons
after being drafted 12th overall in 2006, was suspended for the
final four games of the regular season for using the performance
enhancing drug Adderall.
