Crosby is available again - Ravens deal falls apart due to failed physical

[DABEARSDABOMB]

Ravens back out of the deal - will be interesting to see what the new going rate for Crosby is.

Wild news, especially with all the other teams making moves around this. Ravens probably sign Hendricks.

Price tag can't be 2x firsts anymore, can it?

I suspect it goes down but highly doubt we want a edge that can't pass a physical. They will just keep him.

Schefter says they didnt even do a physical. They just got cold feet.

The guy just had surgery, if any team wanted to fail him, they could. Everyone knows he isnt ready to line up today. The Ravens knew that when they made the deal, too.

It's a very bad situation for the Raiders. No way Crosby will play again for them now, and with the big splash free agents signed, one assumes his price just got lower.

We also heard the Bears were in for 2x first round picks, but Baltimore's were better. *IF* that is true, then we are obviously still calling, albeit at a lower price.

Very interesting.

The Dolphins reneged on a trade for Drew Brees after his rotator cuff surgery in a similar way - the player had just had surgery, so no one could expect a ready-to-go medical clearance. They just use that excuse to back out. Brees went on to have a career that made them wish they hadn't.

Baltimore is looking very bad here, and maybe a glimmer of hope that we might get Crosby cheaper? Our 2026 first round pick, and a player. Maybe Stephenson. Raiders have to know he'll never play again for them, so they have to find something...

Baltimore is always looked at as a well run team and think his health has to come into play to look this dumb in front of NFL teams. I guess you don't sign papers until today so nothing is guaranteed yet.

Yes no one is going to pass a physical coming out of surgery but it's a red flag when it's his 8th knee surgery.

Now if it comes down to one first and whatever then maybe Poles will be interested. We just don't know the medical, with a big contract, you don't want to take that big of a risk. That may be a trade that's made right before the draft so they know his health will be good going forward.

Parsons was coming off of back problems when he got traded which never go away. ( personal experience) And he ended up getting injured during the year. I think GB may end up regretting that trade.
