00:00Now being posted by your league insiders, people covering the Raiders.
00:04The Raiders have, I mean, sent out a graphic.
00:06I don't know where it's at because they can't find it on their social media.
00:08It just hit the social media.
00:10So what they did is they sent the graphic to all the NFL insiders
00:14so that they could publish it.
00:16They gave them a five-minute head start.
00:18And then now the Raiders, because it was mere seconds after I'm like,
00:22everyone's posting this graphic from the Raiders saying this deal was off.
00:26And I go on the Raiders' social media accounts and went to Instagram.
00:30I went to X.
00:31Nothing's on their accounts.
00:32And then two seconds after I post on X that everyone's tweeting out this graphic
00:37that the Raiders have yet to publish.
00:38The Raiders then finally published it on their X account.
00:41But, yeah, pretty bananas.
00:43And, look, not to get too in the weeds, but it was a trade agreement, okay?
00:50Like the Browns have a trade agreement in place right now with the Houston Texans
00:58to acquire Tyson Howard and then obviously give him that contract extension.
01:03However, that is not official yet.
01:06That's why there's been no comment from the Browns and all that because these things can happen.
01:12And what's interesting is that Mason Crosby was posting from Baltimore.
01:17Like he – so I don't know if this is medically related.
01:21Did he fail the physical?
01:23Whatever.
01:24Something seismic happened with this particular trade agreement.
01:30And so it's not official until it's official.
01:34And so the Raiders making it clear that the Baltimore Ravens have chosen not to submit the trade paperwork
01:40to the league office tomorrow at 4 p.m. when all these things get processed by the NFL
01:46because you're going to see all the reporting that's been done the last couple of days
01:52about all these contract agreements, the trade agreements, and whatnot.
01:55The NFL league office starting at 4 p.m. tomorrow then begins officially processing
02:01all of these transactions league-wide, whether it's free agent signings, re-signings,
02:08and then obviously trade agreements.
02:10All that has to get processed, and it's going to take the league office a couple hours tomorrow
02:15to do all this paperwork.
02:17But, yeah, the fact that this has now fallen through and the Raiders are squarely putting it,
02:23and this is the statement, quote,
02:26the Baltimore Ravens have backed out of our trade agreement for Max Crosby.
02:31We will have no further comment at this time, end quote.
02:35Again, that from the Las Vegas Raiders.
02:37And so they are putting this squarely on the Baltimore Ravens as to why this trade agreement
02:42has now fallen through.
02:44Max Crosby is now back to being a Las Vegas Raider for now.
02:48As for the time being, I imagine it might be a decent shot that he still gets dealt somewhere else
02:52because there were definitely some other teams in the mix looking for Crosby.
02:55But, I mean, this, you can't argue, it reshapes the AFC North once again, right?
03:00I mean, we looked at a Ravens team last year that struggled at times to pass rush.
03:04They moved off of a guy like Adafi away and decided, hey, you know, maybe the money's too rich.
03:09We see him pick up a $100 million contract this offseason.
03:12And they said, okay, we need to get after, you know, somebody to get after the passer.
03:16It's the AFC North after all.
03:17Like, you're dealing in a division right now that, as slated at least last year,
03:22had Aaron Rodgers in it, had Joe Burrow in it, has, I mean, tremendous pass rushers
03:25like Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt in it.
03:28And something went down.
03:29And you don't know if this injury is this, I mean, we saw, like, in the NBA,
03:34the Lakers back out of the Mark Williams deal, basically saying,
03:37didn't pass the physical, but everybody else and all the other doctors
03:40who went and re-looked at it were like, he probably should have passed the physical.
03:43Like, by normal physical standards, he should have passed.
03:46But the Lakers held it to a higher degree.
03:47There's so many things it can go.
03:48But the AFC North definitely reshaped once again as we thought it was going to be.
03:53Well, and then Spoh track, they do a great job tracking all the contracts around the NBA.
03:58They just post, the Raiders just lost $30 million in cap space.
04:03That's about how that one goes for right now, yeah.
04:05Well, you know, the thing about Max Crosby is that,
04:07I've always said this about the Steelers and the same thing with the Ravens,
04:10they draft very well.
04:11They draft who they are.
04:13Max Crosby is a Ravens type of guy.
04:16So not only was he going to a team that kind of would hurt the Browns
04:20and obviously what they do, but he was in a scheme fit that really was good for him.
04:24He was going to get isolated out there on that tackle.
04:27Obviously, we'll see what happens.
04:28You know, from when I look at those type of things,
04:29you hope there's not like an injury thing that, you know,
04:33a degenerative thing they're kind of looking at, you know, down the road.
04:35We'll see, but, yeah, that's an interesting 8 o'clock.
04:39The reactions on social media right now,
04:43brought to you by Shabby Jewelers because it's Premier Jewelers,
04:45are just right now off the chain.
04:47I can't read some of them.
04:48And these are national people.
04:51The language being used by some of these accounts
04:58are just, again, everyone's shocked.
05:01Like, the Mason Crosby trade got people's attention
05:07because there were a couple first-round picks attached to it.
05:09But the fact that this trade has fallen through
05:11has turned the NFL insiders right now upside down on their heads.
05:16Like, this is just incredible, watching the reaction from everybody.
05:20I kept mine PG.
05:22I went, wait, what?
05:25Question mark, exclamation point.
05:26Question mark, exclamation point.
05:28Which was everybody's reaction, by the way.
05:30Everybody is baffled by this.
05:32Jordan Schultz adding a really interesting mix into this.
05:34He said a text that he got from a GM.
05:36Baltimore's going to sign Trey Hendrickson.
05:38Watch, which we were also getting reports earlier on today.
05:41Trey Hendrickson expected to make his announcement
05:43on where he's going tomorrow.
05:46That also, I mean, reopens the window for, I mean,
05:49more so this sort of Mark Williams idea of it of,
05:52oh, you went out and got Max Crosby,
05:53who's on the third highest defensive end contract
05:55in NFL history right now, only behind T.J. Watt and Miles Garrett.
06:00You also could have just re-evaluated and went,
06:02oh, we can get Trey Hendrickson for a hell of a lot cheaper.
06:05In a lot of ways, maybe try to finagle your way around this
06:09if that ends up being the case.
06:10Because I don't think that's completely out of the question.
06:12The Ravens need a pass rusher.
06:14There's no doubt about it.
06:15They need to be able to get after the quarterback this year.
06:17Trey Hendrickson would be a guy that they could.
06:19And given the situation that went down with the Bengals,
06:21it wouldn't surprise me if he wants to stay in the AFC North
06:23and get a little revenge too.
06:24Well, and what's interesting right now,
06:26it's crickets from Baltimore, right?
06:28I mean, the NFL insiders, I mean, they're like the,
06:33they're not only the transaction exchange for the NFL,
06:37but they're the information exchange in the NFL.
06:40There's nothing coming out of Baltimore right now.
06:42Something this big, this massive.
06:45Crickets right now coming from the Ravens
06:47as far as why this trade has fallen through.
06:49I'm sure we're going to get something here at any moment.
06:52We'll update you as soon as we find something out.
06:54But like, it just...
06:55Here we go right now, Daryl.
06:56Diana Rossini putting out on social media just moments ago.
06:59Max Crosby did not pass his physical today.
07:01Per sources, Ravens getting their first round picks back.
07:03And there it is, yeah.
07:04So, and that's what a lot of people were speculating.
07:06This had to be a pass the physical type of a situation.
07:10And he didn't.
07:12And yeah, when you don't pass a physical,
07:14that usually kills trades.
07:16Well, it's got to be something substantial though, right?
07:18Because this day and age with their ability
07:19to get guys back from injury,
07:21so you worry about degenerative things like,
07:23you know, lower back and knees and AC,
07:26you know, you worry about that stuff.
07:27If it, you know, in terms of like,
07:29is it a long lasting kind of thing
07:30moving down the line here?
07:33Yeah, and I do, if I remember correctly,
07:37I think that Crosby had a knee cleanup
07:43or procedure after this season.
07:45So maybe that's why,
07:47and maybe the Ravens looked at that and said,
07:49hey, we're not giving up two first round picks
07:52for a guy coming off of a knee procedure.
07:55But like, you knew that prior to,
07:58without the legitimate physicals, but yeah.
08:00Yeah, like that, I thought was common knowledge
08:02that he had a little bit of a...
08:04Or is that the easy way out, right?
08:05You can say that there's something, you know,
08:07obviously maybe he rubbed some people wrong
08:08or something happened and you can use that, right?
08:11The physical, you can use that, who knows?
08:13Well, you're Max Crosby.
08:14What are you thinking right now?
08:15You just, you're like, you're house shopping
08:18or condo shopping or apartment shopping involved
08:20because, no, he was, I mean,
08:22he was, you know, posting on his social accounts,
08:25you know, views from downtown Baltimore
08:27and how excited he was to be there.
08:30And, well, sorry, you got to go back to Vegas.
08:33At least for the, or you got to go somewhere.
08:35It's the classic of, you don't got to go home,
08:37but you can't stay here, okay?
08:39You don't got to go back to Vegas,
08:40but you're not staying here right now.
08:41You're not going to be in Baltimore.
08:42On the bright side for Max,
08:45the Raiders roster's a little better
08:46than when he left two and a half day ago, right?
08:50I still don't know that guy wants to be back.
08:52And listen, that's the other thing,
08:53is that there's going to certainly be
08:55teams re-interested in this.
08:57I mean, the other under, like,
08:59kind of value to part of this too is
09:01this does more than just the AFC North
09:03impact the Browns.
09:04And not in the most massive way,
09:06but you think about the draft,
09:07it's going to be the Raiders drafting at 14.
09:09It's now, as it stands right now,
09:11once again, the Ravens drafting at 14,
09:13which I think dramatically changes that pick.
09:15I mean, we were looking at,
09:16at least I was looking at 14 going,
09:18I mean, it seems like a prime spot
09:20to take one of these receivers.
09:21I don't see the Ravens going out
09:23and taking a receiver at 14.
09:24I mean, they could.
09:25It's on the table,
09:26but they at least sounded like earlier
09:29this offseason,
09:29they were relatively comfortable
09:30with the wide receiver room
09:32they had for the most part.
09:33So do you go out and get another guy
09:35to put next to Zay Flowers?
09:36Because I imagine the Raiders
09:38definitely needed somebody to catch the ball
09:39that wasn't named Brock Bowers
09:40that was sitting on that team.
09:42Well, yeah, and for, you know,
09:43it depends on the guys that they like
09:46or kind of like what Todd Munkin liked.
09:47So who knows what kind of receiver?
09:49He liked the Zay Flowers,
09:50those guys in the slot.
09:51Bateman's there,
09:51but he's been up and down.
09:52It'll be interesting because that does,
09:54it changes the draft,
09:55it changes the thought process,
09:56who they have to go out and get.
09:58Their defensive structure now changes.
10:00You know, going back to what Daryl said,
10:02that was a big,
10:03put that magnet up on the board,
10:05you know, at defensive end.
10:06It will be very, very interesting.
10:08Like I said, the injury,
10:09is it because of injury
10:10or did they use the injury
10:11because something else happened?
10:13Obviously that'll come out very soon,
10:14but that changes,
10:15it changes the AFC a little bit
10:17in terms of the Ravens
10:19who are kind of in transition,
10:20losing who they lost.
10:22And I know Jesse Minter
10:23is going to do a great job,
10:24but that's a good,
10:26it's a good thing for the Browns,
10:27to be honest with you.
10:28It's a very good thing for the Browns.
10:30I mean, just flat out,
10:32there's not many guys
10:33who are going to be
10:34even in contention to be moved to,
10:36I mean, I don't like to use
10:37the word scared of,
10:38but that I'm more scared of
10:39than Max Crosby
10:40actually being on the Ravens.
10:41Like there's just not pass rushers
10:43of that caliber floating around.
10:44Again, Trey Hendrickson is very good
10:45and two years ago had his career year.
10:48Even if that's the guy
10:49who ends up in Baltimore,
10:50I'm much less afraid of Trey Hendrickson
10:52than I am of Max Crosby
10:53on any given day.
10:54You think?
10:54Yeah, I would say so.
10:55You know, you know what?
10:56You know who's feeling
10:57really, really good right now?
10:59Who's breathing the largest
11:00sigh of relief of anybody
11:02in the National Football League?
11:04It's Joe Burrell.
11:05Yeah, probably.
11:06For sure.
11:07With that offensive line,
11:08I would definitely be...
11:09Tough six games
11:11when you talk about,
11:12you know,
11:12the AFC North for him,
11:13for sure.
11:14I mean, just give the man a break
11:16is all he's...
11:16He's just like,
11:17give me a break, please.
11:18Anybody else.
11:19I don't want to go up against
11:20the three top paid pass rushers
11:22twice a year.
11:23Each of them twice a year.
11:24Not that great of a feeling.
11:26But obviously,
11:26a very odd situation playing out.
11:29I mean,
11:29as Daryl said,
11:30we get more information.
11:31If anything else
11:32pops out about this,
11:33you guys are going to be sure
11:34to hear it right here.
11:35I don't...
11:35You're...
11:35I don't...
