Overview
- On his podcast, Crosby described waiting hours at the Ravens’ facility, sensing “off” energy, and being told a team doctor had concerns about his knee before learning the deal was canceled.
- Baltimore abandoned the agreed swap with Las Vegas over medical concerns and pivoted within hours to sign free agent edge rusher Trey Hendrickson to a four-year, $112 million deal.
- Crosby’s agent, citing surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache, says the pass rusher’s meniscus-repair recovery is on schedule, while outside medical commentary referencing a reported “surgeon leak” raised questions about possible cartilage and bone issues that remain unconfirmed.
- League voices from ESPN and elsewhere criticized the Ravens’ handling of the episode, and an anonymous GM told a reporter he was not surprised Baltimore used the physical to exit the deal.
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter says Crosby’s trade value has likely dipped and that a move now appears less likely, with the Raiders signaling he will stay unless a compelling offer emerges.
