NFL News Maxx Crosby to Ravens (Update - Ravens Backing Out of the Deal)

[Sect140]

I agree, they got screwed on the deal. I'm sure Dre'Mont Jones would still be a Raven if they hadn't made that deal.

I bet the Ravens have reached out to him.

 

[TommyD4207]

And there it is.

Hendrickson's market dropped, and they were able to get him for less than Crosby and minus the 2 first rounders.

Ravens are going to have a difficult time making trades for the next few years.

They sure spent 112m very very quickly. It's almost as though they'd been thinking about it for more than 12 hours.

Ravens are f.ucking dirt.

They have a statue of a double-murderer in front of their stadium.
This is not news.

NFLPA will probably file a grievance

Doesn't HIPPA only apply to medical professionals not NFL teams or media

I think they spoke to Hendrickson and thought this is a better deal cause we can keep our picks and the Crosby medical stuff is just a cover, i would be willing to bet that Crosby recovers as expected perhaps is even still traded and the other team finds no issues.

I assume the physical was done by a physician. I don’t believe HIPPA allows a 3rd party to give out medical info obtain by a medical professional they employ. That would defeat the purpose.

But hey why pass up a good conspiracy theory when you have one to make up right?

For what?

 

[Ring 6]

Over what? Trades are contingent upon a physical and the team determines their own guidelines. Clearly Crosby could not play today so he can’t pass a physical. Baltimore was willing to accept that if the physical showed progress they were happy with, but it did not.

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

For what?

Well for starters damaging Crosby’s market. Then screwing with potential deals for the Raiders that were verbally agreed to because of the money saved with Crosby then creating a chain reaction with a couple of other deals around the league which might now fall apart. I mean probably won’t go anywhere but the Ravens screwed a lot of people over.

Yes it’s contingent on a physical but knowing someone had surgery 8 weeks ago of course the person isn’t passing. It was a bad faith backout because Hendrickson was still on the board and they could keep the picks.

 

[VectorPrime]

Reminder that the Ravens started Deflategate. Brady has got to be absolutely out of his mind right now.

 

[Ross12]

Why? Did you expect Baltimore to give out detailed information and violate HIPPA?

Oh the Ravens are going to find trading exceedingly difficult for the next several years.

Fact of the matter is, the league year doesn't start until 4pm today, so no trade or signing is official, so technically, the Ravens didn't actually *do* anything to actionably grief.

That said...they're going to have to overpay for FAs and will have difficulty trading for years to come. Not only are the other 31 teams pissed, GMs are pissed, NFLPA is pissed, and maybe most importantly agents are pissed.

Great minds think alike.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Sure. But he's not going to cost 2 first round draft picks.

And it's also why he's still available.

Hendrickson's health issue was not knee related. Big difference. 4/$120m is hardly a discount.

 

[TommyD4207]

Hendrickson's health issue was not knee related. Big difference.

Didn't cost 2 first round picks - bigger difference.

I think it's quite obvious the Ravens claiming "medical issues" on Crosby was complete and utter ********, or at least should be, now.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Didn't cost 2 first round picks - bigger difference.

Yes and clearly if Crosby didn't have the knee issue he'd still be a Raven.

Seriously?

 

[TommyD4207]

Seriously?

They're two different things.
