The “outrage” is because most people, including me, feel they reneged because the signed another player and they are full of **** when they say it had anything to do with his injury status.

If what you say is true, they still did nothing wrong. They attend to a trade that would take place in the future after Medicals if they still wanted to make the trade.
What they consider acceptable medical risk is impacted by who else they have at the position. If I have no one I’ll take a bigger risk than if I have a guy who is very similar but 100% health.

DeCosta said losing center Tyler Linderbaum to the Raiders opened the possibility of adding both Hendrickson and Crosby.

“I didn’t really look at him as like, ‘Oh, we’ll do this because of that,’” DeCosta said. “It was really more, ‘How do we get better as a football team?’ In terms of Trey, I think we came to a point probably after we lost Tyler, where as we’re trying to find the best way for us to get better as a football team, Trey kind of made a lot of sense as a possible guy to look it. So, we started some discussions with he and his agent, thinking that potentially we could have two pass rushers on the defensive line, on both sides of the line.

“Again, I think it was disappointing to us, and probably in a way, potentially disappointing probably to Trey as well.”

My take is that I'm happy this episode showed why the "legal tampering period" is such a bad idea.

How?

In normal times, the announcement would have been made that the teams agreed to the trade, subject to medical approval.

Teams made commitments based on that announcement. They could have waited until the deal was finalized.

DAL wanted Crosby. LV might have taken their deal with the appropriate announcement. Some of the same doctors would have been consulted and DAL would have backed off. It is the DAL doctor who is the league's top expert on this surgery.
==========
The bottom line is that everyone listed to the agent's representations. IMO, Crosby is damaged goods and LV won't trade him until he can actually pass a physical.

Let's say Crosby's injury keeps him out for the next 4 months. That still gives him a month or two to rehab before the regular season begins. Is that worth the Patriots risking say a 3rd round pick for him?

Right, but if it all happened after the signing window opened it's almost certain that Hendrickson is gone, yet it all happened before so there he was.

Except that Crosby ACTUALLY had a physical on March 10th with the team. One of the doctors raised concerns..

Guess YOU are the one full of ****.
