With the draft around the corner, the Ravens are cooked. No one’s gonna want to trade with them during the draft unless they overpay and FAs going forward will be ultra leery of even considering them.
I bet the boos during Baltimore’s picks will be epic…

Just like when the Eagles screwed the Rams last year and hijacked Willie Lampkin, within the rules but still a shitty thing to do.
Look what good it did Philly....

I don't like the Raiders but they were screwed. Ravens had to know quite a bit about that knee before they accepted the deal, and I think they simply had buyers remorse for those picks. Why else would you sign Hendrickson to the exact same amount of money Crosby was getting, especially considering he's coming off an injury as well! Ravens are playing a dirty game.
I don't feel for any team in this scenario.......................it is clear to all teams that anything done before the new league year is not valid. I understand the "Gentlemen's agreement" but corporations and Capitalism laugh at that on a daily basis.

Couldnt had been stated any better.
Not a big fan of their coaching hire. I don't think he's a bad coach, but I expect they're gonna see some dropoff from Harbaugh who is solid across the board. So I think there's a good chance you are correct.
That said I think the Ravens will be glad down the road they backed out of that deal. I don't like that they went that far, and I think it reflects poorly on the org, but two first round picks including what may end up being an early pick in the 2027 draft, plus a top contract and cap hit on him feels like something Crosby was unlikely to live up to.

Hahaha, oh god I was like is @El Chapo Jr having a psychotic episode, who's he fighting with and then I realized I blocked him ages ago
Dianna Russini has inside info on the situation and even she is calling out the Ravens for being shady. Yes, it is technically the Baltimore Ravens organization's prerogative to cancel the trade via the physical, but everyone knew that Maxx Crosby's knee was not in any shape or form up to passing any medical testing and the Ravens were cognizant of this beforehand. Supposedly, the reason for Baltimore backing out of the transaction was that their doctor(s) had concerns about the long-term impact of the injury from Year 3 on. There apparently was no concern of the short-term health of Crosby's knee despite the fact that he wouldn't be ready well past the beginning of next season.
This clearly looks to me as a case of buyer's remorse and/or purchase with premeditated intent to return. There was a bidding war for Crosby and the Ravens won out by coming up with a bid that included two first-round draft picks albeit with one coming in 2027. While the deal was obviously not official, it still stinks to high heaven as it went against the unwritten rule of business protocol around the league.
Not only did the Ravens beat out the Cowboys with their false bid, but Dallas had to move on with its alternate plans along with the rest of the league--including other interested bidders for Crosby's services--operating and game-planning for Crosby to be on the Ravens' roster. There is obviously a ripple effect on the entire league.
Baltimore likely had a change of heart once they noticed that its roster was being gutted with with multiple free-agent departures including Tyler Linderbaum to the Raiders as well as 3 former players heading to the New York Giants. Plus, Trey Hendrickson's availability and subsequent signing played a part in the Raven's "sudden" decision to renege on the deal.
Yeah, I get that a deal is done once the ink is dried on the contract, but this is no way to operate as an NFL franchise dealing with other NFL franchises in a closed network. Otherwise, the Rams should bid 3 first-round picks for any and every free agent they have interest in and wait to see how their roster shapes up afterwards before deciding whether to actually follow through on those commitments. The Ravens are almost as bad as those a-holes who return Christmas trees to Costco right after Christmas.
Also, the Raiders are fooling themselves if they think they are going to get two first-round picks for Crosby. It was questionable whether they were going to do so before the fiasco with the Ravens.
