Reports are that Crosby did not pass his physical with the Ravens allegedly due to a full meniscus tear. Also the Bears, Cowboys and Jaguars were in the mix and might still be interested in a trade for lower compensation.
Well, he was coming off a major surgery. The Raiders are in a unique situation. They can't bring him back because of all the money they have spent in FA already. I still think the Ravens take him but I am thinking the Raiders have to drop the asking price maybe to a 1 and a 3.
To be honest, if he failed a physical, I think the Buccaneers should take a pass on him as well. No need to have a player that could be one injury away from being a salary cap hit when this team is no where close to making a push for the Super Bowl.
It would have been a violation of NFL rules for a physical being done before 4PM Wed.
This is quite interesting to happen. This puts the Raiders in a bad spot on Crosby thats for sure.
This gonna be like those bullshit FF trades now where everyone comes in low ball? 😂
Lots of losers already with this whole thing. Who's next?

We should pass regardless of his health status, we're not one player away from being a contender. We're many players away. Signing him would be akin to signing Albert Haynesworth and Revis, it would improve nothing and ultimately be a waste of money. Those players were signed to bad teams and the teams remained bad with them, the same would hold true with Crosby and Hendrickson.
The Glazers need to stop being con artists, they need to be honest with the fan base about the quality if this team and they don't seem willing to do that.
