The truth is not "in the middle" and that is not life in the NFL. The Ravens and their GM not only welched out on their deal four days after agreeing to it, but they had Hendricksen in their facility at the same time Crosby was "failing" the physical. JFC, Crosby just got off crutches a week ago. Either the Ravens are run by the stupidest people in the NFL or they are lying.
If Hendricksen had been signed right away rather than still being available, the Ravens shady *** doctors would have said the knee was just fine and healing nicely just TWO MONTHS after surgery.
Prolly lying. Coach takes the team doctor aside and gives him a heads up about the outcome.

They are not even in the same league and never have been. Trey is a pass rusher, is terrible against the run, and was the "anchor" of one of the worst defenses in the league last year. Crosby is elite in a every category and much younger. Sack and pressure stats are a bit misleading because they only apply to like a quarter of the plays in a game. Trey was amazing in 3rd and long, but the Bengals couldn't get anybody in 3rd and long because they couldn't stop the run. LV was in the top half in the league in defense, the Bengals were next to last. Trey isn't elevating any team at his age and with his limitations, even if he stays healthy.
Dude is the king of failing into big money guaranteed contracts.
This makes zero sense.
That isn’t the same comparison IMO. as Nuts said it’s a little strange they have another player at the same position in the facility the same day as Crosbys physical. And also as nuts said he literally got off crutches a week before the deal they knew about the surgery . Nuts is right if they aren’t lying they are extremely stupid. I vote for the former ( lying) they had a chance fir probably a better player and went for it. I think the rest of the league and the future FAs are going to be very hesitant to deal with the Ravens in the future.
1) No, it's exactly the same
They welched on the deal because they could get a better player and used the failed physical of a player coming off surgery as an excuse.
The physical was a condition precedent.
I understand the point about the physical You are missing my point if Hendricksen wouldn’t have been available Crosby would have passed the physical and signed the deal. In my mind the Welched on the deal. Agree to disagree.
You have no way of knowing that.
Right but you don’t know it wasn’t the reason either. You are trying to win the thread to hard.
An NFL trade before the start of free agency is nothing like a person buying a car at a car dealership. Just because the Ravens got away with it doesn't make it right as Fox news explains here. Can you imagine the fallout if the Raiders didn't have any remaining cap room? The timing of it and the transactions that took place over those four days before the Ravens pulled a Biden....
