Hendrickson to Ravens

[TD alt]

Maybe they really thought Crosby's health was too big a question mark.

Shady behavior from the Ravens.

OR they realized they could get Hendrickson for less money and keep their draft picks

Jaelan Phillips' deal be like

I think once they realized that they could get Hendrickson for under 30 mill, they got buyer's remorse. Definitely doesn't look good for the Ravens

I think Hendrickson is far more expensive, no?  Maxx's cap hit would have been $7 million this year.  If they were planning on using Crosby's injury as an out and playing both sides to see if they could secure Hendrickson that was pretty sick.  Ravens rep def going to take a hit though on dealing in good faith.

Two first round picks for a guy with very questionable knees who will be 29 this summer. Yes it is safe to say the Ravens got cold feet.

Yup

Wonder if this impacts Raven's trades with other teams the next few years. I doubt teams will completely ice them out, but they could require the Ravens pay a bit extra for this bush league poo

The assumption was the ravens were going to rework Crosbys contract and extend him

They saw the market for Hendrickson was not as robust as expected and made a business decision. I’d respect it more if they just came out and said “We’re playing by the rules and we don’t need a reason to cancel the trade before 5pm Wednesday. That’s our window to evaluate all aspects of the trade and we decided it wasn’t in our best interests.” Don’t give us all this failed physical bs you just come off more slimy.

Considering the Raiders and Crosby’s disagreements about his health late last year and the Ravens’ history of being an extremely well run organization I lean towards the Ravens not being in the wrong here
