I hate to break this to you but we were never going to fill all of our holes in one offseason let alone all in free agency.

its not like we have glaring holes that prevent us from winning a championship were talking about minor holes.

Glaring holes : LG, S
minor holes: OC,TE, slot WR, DL depth (2 DT and 1 EDGE)

I'd say pass rush in general is a glaring hole.

Dude f**king relax it's the official 1st day of FA

you think people would learn after seeing the same thing every year. Every year the lower teams make these big signings and sign a lot of players to overpaid contracts early usually the good teams maybe make 1-2 key signings then get the rest later

It gets annoying year after year when you see trash ass teams picking in the top 5 overspending, because they got the most cap and a lot of this fan base losing their minds calling for John's head and calling Jed cheap. Just because they're not giving average to ok players ridiculous money

Love Mac, he was quite frankly the sole reason we made the playoffs last year but if we can flip him for a second, do so & then send that baby to the Raiders for Crosby. Go get Cousins to back up Purdy along with Kurtis Rourke & Adrian Martinez.

Funny to see the overreactions to standard operating procedures. "It's a black eye for the Ravens," and other stupid comments.

Crosby failed his physical and that nullified the deal. There is zero egg on the Ravens' faces.

Yeah, I don't get that sentiment either. If anything it makes the Ravens look better all the way around.

I mean… the truth could very well be somewhere in the middle.

We don't know what "failed his physical" really entails. We know he's recovering from a meniscus surgery so anything could theoretically be used to say he "failed" including old information that everyone already knew.

Personally, I think it's simple as this: The Ravens made their offer and presumed Crosby had only a 1% chance of blowing his knee out and never playing football again. They then did their physical that they were entitled to do and their doctors concluded he actually had a 10% chance of blowing his knee out and never playing football again.

The Ravens then decided "oh screw that that's way too much draft capital to give up for that much risk let's just sign Hendrickson instead—he may have a 15-20% chance of blowing his leg out and never playing again but at least we don't have to give up draft picks."

Which begs the question—are the Ravens entitled to set different parameters/thresholds for different individual players depending on circumstances? I think it's a fair question. If you're trading heavy draft capital for a player, perhaps you SHOULD be allowed to set a much higher medical standard than you would most other players.

I don't know why in today's world it's gotta be all one side or the other. There were very, very likely a lot of nuances in play here. Another team could very well be okay taking the risk but at a lower price, or very well have a medical team that comes to a very different conclusion.

You mean to tell me that Crosby failing his physical & then less then 24 hours the Ravens having a similar caliber replacement signed, sealed & delivered is by coincidence… And they get to keep their next 2 first round picks. You are out of your mind lol. Ravens went out the back door of the Raiders deal as soon as Trey told them there was mutual interest.

Hard to say either way. Maxx just had surgery in January which they would have known he isn't 100%. What's fishy to me is they sure did sign Trey Hendrickson really fast. Did they come to the realization they could get Trey at a cheaper price so they used the physical to nix the deal?

If Maxx doesn't get traded anytime soon then yeah maybe something isnt just right with his rehab. We will find out soon enough.

I sure hope we're not done here.

Right.

I am so over the juvenile takes on X today.

Multiple doctors reviewed the records.

Ill take their opinion over rando basement dwellers.

I was not expecting major buzz moves.

It does kinda have that smell, doesn't it. Wonder if a team/teams would ever being playing chess instead of checkers and do this intentionally to somehow screw over another team or rival in some way.

It's absolutely this, it's incredibly naive to believe otherwise, the timing just reeks.

They needed to act on Crosby or another team would have got him, they then waited to see if they were going to be able to land Hendrickson and then Welshed the Raiders.

If the NFL doesn't act, other teams should make them pay a premium from now on.

it is ok for you to feel that but you literally have zero evidence of this.

Hangnail and buyer's remorse....brutal combination.
