Theory: Did Ravens Purposely Fail Ryan Grant’s Physical?

[Joey007]

Could the Ravens have purposefully failed the guys physical because Crabtree suddenly became available?

If so, yet more hypocrisy on this teams part for being so called integrity filled.

While I wouldn't put it past a team for doing that, I think that's a bit of a stretch. Of course an agent is going to say he's fine and could play tomorrow, because it helps to sell his client. Just as likely that Baltimore found something they weren't comfortable with, and wanted to renegotiate/move on.

Absolutely! What impeccable timing! Crabtree gets cut, and yep...Grant failed. Lmao! What a joke. Real stand up organization there.

It could also be that they realized that they made a big mistake over paying for the guy. Might have had nothing to do with Crabtree, just wanted out of his contract.

Agreed. Though in this age of reading between the lines and starting rumors that eventually become entrenched as facts by the mainstream media, I'd just like to say that, "I TOTALLY believe that they failed him on purpose, Mike!"

I read an article on this yesterday. They were criticized heavily for the Grant deal. Cowards way out.

It will be interesting to see what the next team where he'll take the physical has to say.

Crabtree sucks, so that would be a bad move. Drops so many passes and gets so much OPI.

He’s aging, so it’d fit their MO of finding WR’s.

Now I hope Grant has a pro bowl year and the Ravens go all season without any of their receivers catching a TD.
They could also be in on Suh or Mathieu.

This is more than deserving of a Dikembe level curse.

Where’s the league office on this? If the pats did that to Kenny Britt right then and magically signed Crabtree, there would be a huge sting operation, media tip offs, leaks of disinformation etc

Theory: The Ravens are not the Patriots so none of this will matter

I would think that the NFLPA would also want to represent their member in this...

That would be great, except the fact that he might sign w with the colts, so forget that.

I didn’t realize that the Ravens were known for their integrity.

 

[DarrylS]

Integrity(def): A term made up solely for the New England Patriots by the NFL to try to destroy their history of winning every season, situationally applied to distract the team from their current season and an effort to create division within the team, denigrate the owner, give the mediots something to whine about and create conflict among the fans.

 

[Froob]

If the Ravens would just come out and admit it it wouldn’t be a big deal. But now they’ve made it a big deal, just like Ray Lewis when he killed that guy. Just own it and apologize and move on.

 

[chasa]

he passed a physical and signed a prove it deal with the colts.

All signs point to the ravens as being shady ****s.
