    I'd have been pissed. No way to know how long he can play at that level. Imagine he gets injured. Lose two picks for a guy who sits on bench.

    I sure the hell don't want to see him standing over Rodgers* laying flat on his back.

    *assuming he is our QB.

    I'll say the same thing I said when the Cowboys traded Parsons last year. For a move that everyone knew the team had to make, it looks like they got a very nice haul.

    However...If Crosby doesn't ask to renegotiate, the Ravens have a good contract situation. Crosby signed in '22 before the Watt & Garrett ridiculous contracts so:

    Annual salaries not guaranteed after this season.
    Cap hit around $30M this season and under every other year until 2029, or can be released at no additional penalty if he is way below his cap number.

    Here's a painful comparison
    Watt's salaries guaranteed this year and next
    Watt's cap hit $42M each of the next two years.
    Watt's number increases to $46M in 2028 if not released by March 15 that year. Thankfully the 2028 salary isn't guaranteed so only $10M dead cap hit in 2028

    If the Ravens are stupid then the Steelers brain dead.
    Rats gave up a lot but Crosby is probably the second best pass rusher in the league. Watt is probably 5 or worse now by comparison.

    The Steelers should have never offered as much and they didn’t but boy I wish he went somewhere other than the Ravens.

    On the bright side this may sway Rodgers to retire.

    Don’t the Ravens know Crosby is entering his decline? Just ask anyone here.

    Myles Garrett 1. Maxx Crosby 2. Watt about 5. TJ signed his big contract and his wallet must be hurting his back. He hasn’t done very much since. Last year he not even being double teamed much.
