00:00The dissolution, what is it, dissolvement of the Ravens-Max Crosby trade,
00:06which broke about 8 o'clock last night, 8.30.
00:09It was during the Terpski.
00:11Right after.
00:12I was on the treadmill.
00:14Matter of fact, when Hatchwack got your text, I was like,
00:16I heard about Ricard, et cetera, et cetera.
00:19But either way, trade's done.
00:21And the Ravens wanted to make it work.
00:24The old cheap trick song, I want you to want me.
00:30And I guess the Raiders still wanted those two first-round draft picks.
00:34And it was crazy.
00:36And Trey Hendrickson, we'll get to that,
00:38because that maybe absolves the Ravens of whatever blame they were about to get,
00:43which was going to be a lot.
00:45But in the course of five days, the Ravens went from getting Max Crosby,
00:51taking a bold swing, two first-round draft picks,
00:55and I was on board, you were on board, Nolan was on board.
00:58We were all on board with him.
01:00Turned out to be the SS Minnow, Gilligan's Island ship.
01:05They were on a deserted island for months and months and months.
01:08They lost all these free agents.
01:11And Ricard, Patrick Ricard, leaves to go to the Giants right before the Trey Hendrick,
01:18or excuse me, the Max Crosby news broke.
01:22So we have all of these things that are happening, but, hey, we still have Crosby.
01:27Yeah.
01:27It's all good.
01:29And then that came out.
01:31And then it was like, well, what the hell?
01:33Failed his physical.
01:36Agent saying things that he's convalescing well.
01:39Ella, Ella Trach, the surgeon, by way of Adam Schefter, he was on crutches last week
01:49and had the meniscus surgery two months ago.
01:55Now, I'm assuming that the Ravens knew all of this.
02:01So my question is, and we'll get to the good news, that what did you expect in the physical
02:11if you knew that he was literally on crutches a week ago?
02:15Well, here's kind of how it would be done.
02:21Because the Ravens, they did their due diligence.
02:26I'm guessing they had to get permission from the Raiders to talk to the doctor and everything.
02:33So they talked to the doctor, got the MRI, got the x-rays, got all that stuff, had it sent
02:39so they could look at it.
02:40All right?
02:41But it's nothing, you know, so you get a chance to look at the pictures, but you hadn't put
02:46your hands on the player yet, saw the player, done all that.
02:49And give your own MRIs, because those MRIs are from who knows when, you know, and you're
02:57doing updated ones right now.
02:59And what happens is, and Eric or none of the coaches, nobody's involved, but Crosby and
03:07the Ravens doctors, and they send them over to MRI, and then the Ravens doctors are looking
03:13at the MRI.
03:14Then they write a report, and they come up to Eric's office, and maybe Bashadi was there
03:20too.
03:20And then they give them their evaluation.
03:22They put a number on it.
03:23And we would all, I'm not sure what the Ravens numbers are, but ours were one to five, and
03:28five was a fail.
03:31And three minus was basically, you know, a pass.
03:34And we had a similar situation, Bob, with Malcolm Kelly, wide receiver out of Oklahoma, who our
03:40trainers gave a four because of knee.
03:43Same type of thing.
03:45You know, meniscus deal.
03:47And we went and worked him out.
03:49Our trainer, Bubba Tyre, we went to Oklahoma.
03:51He talked to the trainers, talked to Malcolm, did everything.
03:56And what came out of that was, okay, you can draft him, but he's going to be in the training
04:02room a lot, not going to be able to practice all the time, you know, and he may miss some
04:07time, you know?
04:08So do you still want to draft him?
04:10You know, so I'm guessing that Ravens doctors come back and they would have on this type
04:16of deal, Bob, they would have five as flunked a physical.
04:20So they would have a five for a grade slash.
04:24And the slash is when he's healthy, he would be a, and I'm guessing it'd be a, it was a
04:29four,
04:30you know?
04:31And it's like, okay, here's the thing is he's not going to be able to practice all the time.
04:37You know, he's going to have some time, miss practice.
04:40You maybe have him for two years and then who knows, you know?
04:44So then, you know, you get that meeting and they had just given the MRI and then you're
04:51saying to yourself, okay, Trey Hendrickson and they had been, you know, is still sitting
04:56out there and his numbers coming down because he hadn't gone yet.
05:00What would have been interesting, Bob, is if Hendrickson was gone, if he'd have went the
05:04first day, would he have, you know, so back to the, to the story.
05:09So then they're sitting around and saying, it's a lot to give up, you know, two first
05:16round picks and all this money when we can get Hendrickson at the same end, keep our draft
05:21picks, you know?
05:23So when you look at it that way, you know, so, you know, Aaron Rappaport, you know, said
05:28that, uh, you know, there's a lot of blame.
05:30There's no blame.
05:30They're just doing their due diligence and, you know, you couldn't finish what you had
05:35to do until the physical, you know, which they did yesterday.
05:39So I don't, do I blame the Ravens?
05:41No, they're, they're just doing what they're supposed to do.
05:45And then they've got to make a decision.
05:48The Ravens had to make a decision on, okay, we got to live with him, not practicing every
05:54day, or maybe for the first year he can practice.
05:56But then, you know, cause I heard Pete Carroll, Bob say that he only practiced on Fridays the
06:01last nine weeks.
06:02And then he went on IR after that.
06:06So what percentage of a guy are you really getting and how long are you getting them for?
06:11That's, that's what you got to look at.
06:13So to me, when, when I look at this whole picture now and the Ravens have Hendrickson and
06:20their two picks back, I think it's a win.
06:23Boy, it seems that way, doesn't it?
06:25Yeah.
06:25Because, uh, 12 hours ago, it seemed like a colossal, oh my God, what the hell are you
06:31doing?
06:31You're a harbender.
06:32I have to cost to get rid of.
06:34I mean, what are they, didn't they figure out what the situation was with him health wise?
06:39But the Ravens did try to renegotiate the deal where a first round draft pick apparently
06:44was still going to be involved when he'll be two number ones, but Raiders said no.
06:48So the Ravens pivot to Trey Hendrickson, four year deal, 112 million.
06:54This is according to Adam Schefter, 112, 60 mil, fully guaranteed $20 million signing
07:01bonus, assuming it passes his fiscal because he missed a lot of time too.
07:06Yeah.
07:06And Bob, what, you know, I think like what the tone of the phone calls and our tone would
07:14have been totally different if they had, if, if we came in and it was steam be coming up
07:18at that thing, right?
07:19Yes.
07:20If there was no Hendrickson, yeah, yeah.
07:22Then it'd be like, what lost nine free agents got no pass rusher now.
07:28You know what I mean?
07:28What the hell are you going to?
07:29And at 14, you're going to take a pass rusher, but he's not going to be Max Crosby.
07:32But Hendrickson coming in, plus your two first round draft picks.
07:37And let me stress again, we were all in on the Max Crosby trade.
07:42Yeah.
07:44But as we revisit it now, damaged goods, according to the Ravens, and apparently teams are calling
07:52about Max Crosby.
07:53Dallas will not be one of them because their team doctor was one of the advisors to the
07:58Ravens in regards to shooting down the deal because Dallas offered a one and a two.
08:03Yeah.
08:04And the Raiders turned it down.
08:06Now Dallas apparently will not re-engage in negotiations there, but teams are still interested
08:12in Max Crosby.
08:13But it's now a moot point from our perspective, unless he goes to like Cincinnati or Cleveland
08:18or Pittsburgh or something like that.
08:20But now Trey Hendrickson comes in, older player, was injury-plagued last year.
08:26Yep.
08:28His season was riddled with contract drama.
08:32It was just right out of the gate.
08:34Yeah.
08:35That year was doomed for him and for them.
08:39Now the Ravens get a guy who two years ago led to Lee in sacks.
08:4217 and a half, I believe.
08:44Had back-to-back years of at least 17.
08:47Even last year in a limited time, he had like four or five.
08:50So Hendrickson comes in.
08:53Aditi Kinkamvala, who we've had on the show, used to be NFL Network, now CBS, she tweeted
08:59out last night that Lamar Jackson has, in fact, renegotiated his deal.
09:03Whatever that means.
09:06Renegotiated his deal.
09:07So it frees up some dough enough to pay Hendrickson.
09:12And now you get your first-round draft pick back, too.
09:15You still have multiple holes to fill.
09:18Let's not forget that.
09:19Yeah.
09:19But for the second time in five days with Hendrickson, you have filled a major need in a pass, right?
09:27And you have your 14th pick.
09:28Right.
09:29So you can fill a major hole there.
09:31So, yeah.
09:32And the thing with Lamar is, because I just saw from Adam Schefter or whoever, Josh Allen
09:39just restructured and they picked up 12 million cap space.
09:42That's all Lamar's doing.
09:43They're getting more than that.
09:45And bottom line is, they're adding years to the contract.
09:48They're giving him a huge...
09:49He's getting a pile of cash today.
09:51You know, 40, 50, whoever knows how many million.
09:54And the cap number comes down because you extend the signing bonus over the length of the deal.
10:00So you extend the length to lower the cap number.
10:03And that's what they did with Lamar.
10:05Noah McGraw.
10:05What's up, baby?
10:06Schefter with some more details.
10:08They've created roughly 40 million in cap space for this year.
10:12So he got a lot of cash.
10:14Yeah.
10:15Whatever it takes, man.
10:16I mean, this isn't...
10:17Hey, hey, hey, Armadi.
10:18Who cares?
10:19Well, all it is is, you know, like his salary was going to be huge.
10:24So all he did was took his salary and converted it to signing bonus and it extended.
10:30So he's still getting the same amount of money, but he's getting cash, right?
10:35Like, all right, you're going to get paid for 17 weeks, but it doesn't start till September.
10:41Or you can get that 60 million today.
10:44Yeah, his cap hit was going to be 74 and a half for this year, him alone.
10:49So that, as you just said, frees up significant financial strength for them if they choose to use it.
10:58And then really to take it back to the Raiders side of things, I know Rappaport and some others are
11:02saying,
11:03well, they can, you know, bring the Crosby contract as hefty as it is.
11:06They can bring that back in and be okay.
11:08But let's be honest here.
11:10They operated in the legal tampering period, Monday, all those heavy moves, especially Linderbaum,
11:15assuming that Crosby's money was going to be off the books.
11:18So can they technically make it work?
11:21Yeah.
11:22And even Crosby, I think, is a guy who could, you know, move some money around and make things okay
11:27in the short term.
11:28But that is not what they expected at all.
11:31You know, would they have still given all the money that they gave earlier this week
11:35if they didn't make that initial trade for Crosby?
11:38I'm not so sure.
11:40No, because they signed a pass rusher.
11:42You know?
11:43Yeah, that for sure wouldn't have happened.
11:44So, no, I think because their game, because they planned out all along that they were going to trade Crosby.
11:52So, you know, and then you get your plan together of who we're going to go get.
11:55And like you said, Nolan, if this, if they still had Crosby, they would have done things totally different.
12:01It's been 880, 1-0, 5-7, the fan, an abbreviated version.
12:04We're only here until 11 because Maryland taking on Iowa today in Chicago.
12:08Terps beat Oregon 70-60, led the entire time, almost tried to piss it away late in the second half.
12:16But they managed to maintain.
12:17Kobe Mayo was 4-4 with five ribbies, including a home run yesterday for the Orioles.
12:22And how about UMBC advancing as well as they'll get to the conference finals coming up this weekend against Vermont.
12:28And Bam Adebayo scored 83 points against the Wizards.
12:32That was crazy.
12:3383 points.
12:34Hey, look, Bam, 20-10 kind of guy.
12:3683 points, second most in NBA history next to Will Chamberlain.
12:41But Max Crosby's gone.
12:42Trey Hendrickson and your two first-round draft picks are in.
12:47I don't know.
