OT: The Raiders trade Maxx Crosby to the Ravens

I'd like to know if the Ravens offered more than was asked for in order to secure the trade or if they offered what was asked for initially and then counter offered the Raiders counter offer. Seems like the Ravens went big to get a premium player before the legal tampering period and once it did hit they got nervous and backed out when they realized they offered more than the ask and looked silly.

 

It's hilarious the amount of big names that left and big names they missed out on. And now they're scrambling.

 

So ravens get to keep the two first rd picks and get Hendrickson? Awesome

 

More likely someone got cold feet and are going to call it a medical concern.

 

If it is so smart then why not make the offer to Hendrickson in the first place? Hendrickson was plan B at best.

 

I think this is going to be the result. I don't think the league can or will do anything because no announced deals are official. But, who is going to deal with that FO now? Agents, GMs, everyone around the league see what just happened and the suspect optics. Some may become even more vengeful if they were directly affected - like the Raiders, Dallas, Washington - teams who were expected to be in on a Crosby trade but moved on after the deal was done.

 

But they lost???

 

Meh

GMs change so often in 3 years this will forgotten

 

You never have enough pass rushers

 

it's funny the deal fell through---I was listening to a host on westwood 1 saying man the Ravens are top --with him now.Will win the north easily --but but but

 

It was highly reported that Dallas had offered a 1st and a 2nd for Crosby, so the Ravens offer of 2 first round picks wasn't too crazy.

 

a better coach to begin with

 

Is “highly reported” like “strenuously object”

 

Maxx should get even with Ravens and want to come to their most hated rival.
