Overview
- Ravens GM Eric DeCosta said the team could not complete the acquisition after its evaluation, calling the decision tough and saying he was “gutted,” without detailing specific medical findings.
- Multiple outlets reported Crosby failed Baltimore’s physical tied to his January meniscus repair, while his agent and surgeon said his rehab is progressing on schedule.
- The collapsed deal returned two first-round picks to the Ravens and kept Crosby under contract with Las Vegas.
- Baltimore signed former Bengals edge rusher Trey Hendrickson to a four-year deal worth up to $112 million, with DeCosta noting the team had contemplated pursuing both Hendrickson and Crosby.
- Las Vegas must reconcile Crosby’s $35-plus million cap charge with a flurry of recent commitments, as teams inquire without a discount and league figures question Baltimore’s handling of the late-stage reversal.
