I think it's a big ass fuck you with a small chance the Ravens end up getting Linderbaum back because Raiders overpayed

Alex Anzalone to Bucs feels good. Too bad our coaching staff will fuck this up.
Depends on how they scheme him up. I think he's a bit washed and has started to become a liability when in coverage, but he's still serviceable against the run. I'm glad the Lions didn't re-sign him.

At least he's a good sport about the Analzone thing..

Lol most obvious scumbag move ever.

Oh we don't like his knees says the team that trades for player that just had knee surgery.

Give us our 2 picks back so we can sign this other player that we promise we haven't been negotiating with already!!!

Really fucks the Raiders, now what for them?

Schefter was saying that they were openly negotiating with Hendrickson but to add to Crosby.

Might work out for the Raiders if they can convince him to restructure his contract because his value is now lower.
The only other option is taking a lower offer, supposedly the Cowboys offered a 1st and a 2nd but that was before all this, so who knows if they are even willing to offer that much now.

While this sort of scenario has happened before (every trade is subject to passing the physical), the timing is horrible - the Raiders now have a ton of new hires they made under the assumption they wouldn't be carrying Crosby's salary, and they still have to be compliant to the 2026 cap _today_ at 4 Eastern.

I believe the Raiders will be under for this season, but they will have to get Crosby out the door before next season (almost certainly by taking a lesser deal this week, as you don't want him in the building after that mess), but even then the Raiders are still blocked from picking up lower tier deals this year until Crosby's money is off the books from a trade.

As for the Ravens, that's the sort of stink that sticks on you for years - and when they do finally trade with the Raiders again in a decade+, this failed trade will still be mentioned.

With the media saying the Cowboys doc had issues with Crosby's knee, if true that's a big blow to Crosby. He is like the premiere knee guy.

Yeah right, pretty fucking easy to say you dont like a knee that needs surgery, especially when you realize you can sign a player that doesn't also cost 2 first round picks.

Meanwhile FA started and contracts have gone out assuming this guy was off the market.

Now you get less possible trading partners and a disgruntled player back.

This isnt even the first time the Ravens have pulled a stunt like this. I just wouldnt deal with these scumbags again.
