Time to put it out there... after 8 incredible years and a lifetime of memories at CVHS, I will be leaving at the end of the year. It has been an incredible ride, with amazing colleagues and incredible students who I will never forget.

One GM summarized the feelings around the league: “This is very much bullshit on Baltimore’s part.”

Just got off the phone with two GMs. Neither one buying the Ravens failed physical narrative - not by a long shot. Good luck finding agents and teams to trust you in negotiations now. It's not sitting well with the Raiders either. Coulda got further medicals on Crosby way sooner

My full thoughts on the Maxx Crosby situation:

Let me start with the Ravens side of this. Obviously, everyone in Baltimore - and everyone else - knew Maxx Crosby wouldn’t pass a physical today. That’s not news. My best guess is this: The Ravens, and this part is what I do know, hoped to retain more than one player lost in FA. None more notable than Tyler Linderbaum, who Eric DeCosta, the Ravens’ GM, wouldn’t commit to the three-year deal offered by the Raiders. Ian Rapoport was the first to confirm that fact. The Maxx Crosby deal took place before ‘legal tampering’ officially kicked off, meaning, the Ravens weren’t to know how things would turn out with those they hope to retain.
This is where my best guess comes in: After a full strikeout, DeCosta reassessed the state of things, and thought it would be best to hang onto assets as Baltimore is missing key parts he hoped would return, especially after reality hit on where Maxx was, and where everyone knew he would be. So, he took advantage of what some may call a loophole; in reality, just exercising his best available option. Which.. in many ways, it’s hard to fault a GM for doing. Even if it’s not the best look.

Now, for the Raiders:

The decision to ‘move on’ from Maxx, and I say ‘move on’ in quotes as, perhaps, it was more of Maxx’s decision to move on from the Raiders, is one that actually benefitted both LV and the team that acquired Maxx Crosby. That’s because, without Maxx, it’s a calm, smooth sail for John Spytek as he begins a true build. There’s no [understandable] rush or pressure from a fantastic vet refusing to waste his prime with a team that may not be looking to put all of the pieces together today. With Maxx pressured to be in Baltimore, Spytek set course to the new timeline he created in the meanwhile, ensuring every move made was done to maintain the same window.. when it may come. A timeline that, frankly, Crosby doesn’t fall into. Which no one knew better than Maxx himself, thus leading to his inquiry.

For the above reasons, I do believe starting fresh, for now, is in the best interest of both parties, and will come to pass regardless. But it’s become a bit more difficult now.

No, that’s not because Maxx failed his physical. Again — everyone knew that would be the case. It’s because FA has begun. Pass-rush needy teams have agreed to terms with Jaelan Phillips. Odafe Oweh. Boye Mafe. Teams looking for a stud pass rusher have now got exactly that. Rashan Gary was traded to the Cowboys; the perceived ‘runner up’ in the Crosby sweepstakes. What can the Raiders do now? Everyone has already taken to their plan-A/B’s. And why wouldn’t they? That’s just everyone doing their jobs.

So what happens now?
Best case scenario, there’s a team out there that was banking on one of those aforementioned studs - Phillips, Oweh, or Mafe, or even Gary - and missed out. Now, they’re pivoting to a golden opportunity that just became available, being Maxx Crosby, and pay more than they may have before, being Crosby is the best option at EDGE out there.

However, Trey Hendrickson (31) remains a FA, and a contender wouldn’t have to give up any assets for him. Hendrickson is reportedly ready to make a decision tomorrow.

Elite offseason additions for the Ravens

[ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalk]

Every trade is contingent on a player passing a physical. But the Raiders didn't say Crosby failed his Ravens physical. The Raiders said the Ravens "backed out" of the trade. This feels bigger than a failed physical.

[Michael Kentris @michael_kentris]

Damn

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

ESPN sources: the Raiders agreed to trade five-time Pro-Bowl DE Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for 2026 and 2027 first-round picks.

The trade cannot be processed until next week, but it is in place. And Crosby is expected to be a Raven with two 1s back to Vegas.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Jack Hughes for the gold.

Here's the problem with last night's overtime interception. On December 7, this was ruled an interception on the field. Replay review overturned it to a catch. NFL V.P. of instant replay Mark Butterworth defended the decision in a pool report. By January 17, the standard changed.

[Charles Woodson @CharlesWoodson]

Receiver has control hits the ground, ball is taken after the fact, interception? I’m confused on that one

[Dan Orlovsky @danorlovsky7]

53 yards in penalties on an OT drive in the playoffs

That’s just bad officiating.

[Michael Kentris @michael_kentris]

Refs deciding an overtime playoff game…. Cool

[Michael Kentris @michael_kentris]

@SacMaxPreps Make that a 1pt play and 2pt play from the 5.
Onside kick runs the risk of too much violence in my opinion.

This was an A+ flop
