@stewieleon @BenVolin U have to give the Ravens some credit for figuring out this loophole. It was clever to pull off this kind of move, but I'd argue that it was unwise simply because Ravens burned at least a few bridges in an extremely small, prestigious group that will have lasting reprocussions.
@nook3000@nolemonade@SamMonsonNFL It benefited the Ravens because they were able to make 2 deals at the same time and choose which one could benefit the org the most at the expense of their integrity and another teams financial situation. They gained 2 first round picks while avoiding the risk of losing out.
@nook3000@nolemonade@SamMonsonNFL Utilizing a loophole to escape out of a trade is snake behavior especially when the tampering period extended the timeframe on when the deal could have been made final. Hendrickson was still available and they pivoted only because that option became a reality when was left unsign
@nolemonade@SamMonsonNFL They leveraged a trade offer before FA ratrace + they lost alot of talent in FA + Hendrickson still available days later after trade = bush league behavior backing out of a handshake agreement because an option is available that you never knew would have been available.
@nolemonade@SamMonsonNFL Its pretty simple. They had to scramble to win a bidding war for a top pass rusher before FA. FA tampering period opened, they lost alot of their players to FA (their plans are falling apart). After a few days they see Hendrickson is still available, mutual interest saves picks.
@WalshFreedom Brother, this is MLK 2.0. Stop minimizing the death of an innocent human. Your actions are gross. You are searching for ways to turn tragedies into a victory for your team by searching for inconsistencies. Drop the narcissism and seek help.
@mjfree You probably celebrated the death of MLK when you read about it in the history books. Your initial reaction of needing to find a way to minimize his death in such a way highlights the context of your character.
