"The Baltimore Ravens have backed out of our trade agreement for Maxx Crosby. We will have no further comment at this time. The Raiders announced the news in the way you might have posted on your Facebook wall about a breakup as a teenager, using language that suggested they felt done dirty by what happened."
"Every NFL signing and trade is subject to a physical. Nothing's official until players pass those physicals. Obviously, each team's comfort with the wear and tear that they see on football players depends on a variety of factors."
The Baltimore Ravens unexpectedly backed out of a trade agreement with the Las Vegas Raiders for star edge rusher Maxx Crosby just four days after the deal was announced. The Ravens reportedly pulled out due to concerns raised during Crosby's physical examination. The Raiders announced the withdrawal through a brief social media statement, using the phrase "backed out," which suggested frustration with how the situation was handled. All NFL trades remain subject to players passing their physicals, and teams evaluate physical condition based on various factors. The sudden reversal of one of the biggest trades in recent years raised questions about what went wrong and what would happen next for all parties involved.
