Maxx Crosby to the Ravens

[pattersaur]

Bonkers the Ravens backed out. If I'm a Raider fan I think I might hate the Ravens after this. Haven't seen anything like it since CP3-to-the-Lakers got axed by David Stern.

Now we wait to see in what way this inevitably hurts the Vikings lol.

Seems like buyer's remorse. They have a history of backing out of trades.

The Raiders are PISSED. Pretty good breakdown of it all here and the ripple effects:

Makes one wonder what affects this may have on future dealings prior to the start of the league year if trades aren't official until then.  Will teams delay deals until the pieces like this are in place before they begin their shopping to get a clearer view of the market,  or will it be water under the bridge in a minute and business as usual?

From Dianna Russini:

‘ Teams that were interested in trading for Maxx Crosby, including the Ravens, had conversations with his surgeon, Neal ElAttrache, and the Raiders’ medical staff before making trade offers.

The Ravens’ doctors — along with multiple independent ones — reviewed Crosby’s MRI. They were unified in the belief that Crosby’s short-term outlook was positive, but there were concerns about the long-term prognosis of Crosby’s knee, per sources.‘

I know I said something different a few days ago, but it now does seem a little weird to me that Crosby on crutches can draw TWO 1st round picks while we hope for a 2nd rounder for Jonathan Greenard. Greenard had surgery on his shoulder in December, but his prognosis seems a bit brighter than Crosby's. 

Crosby can still be traded, but teams are going to be cautious. I wonder if this impacts Greenard's value at all.

From Field Yates on X-

The Ravens’ pivot from Maxx Crosby to Trey Hendrickson.

The Crosby trade was for two firsts and he was due $112.93M in base value for the next 4 years.

They now sign Trey Hendrickson for $112M over the next 4 years.

Ravens sign the top FA DE available to the same money as Maxx. Yep, if I'm a Raider fan I absolutely hate the Ravens' guts for this

'Mr. Brzezinski? Howie Roseman on line 1'

Say goodbye to Jonathan Greenard for Philly's 1st round pick at #23. Otherwise keep him. Make Howie sweat it out for once, KAM doesn't live here anymore for the fleecing.

[JimmyinSD]

cant we find an afc team that would like to surrender their 1st round pick for JG?

Honestly? I would rather work a trade with Philly that somehow includes Carter & Greenard swap. 

I'm just glad the Bears have appeared to have blown their wad this year and not a front-runner for Crosby now...

We'll see....
