Here is the PFT tweet. It links to a NBA Sports article written by Florio. Yeah, him.

haha....wow what a crazy turn of events....that locker-room has to be in such high spirits

They realized that 1) his value on the market dropped considerably with the Ravens backing out over health concerns, 2) fewer teams would be interested now after making their alternative/backup moves, and 3) they already upset a lot of their fans with his trade so no reason to go through that again.

Lol lol lol right!!! Knowing this medical situation who would be crazy enough to ruin their franchise!

I agree with 1 & 2. If they thought it improved their team, management would not care about the fans’ feelings.

I mean they just said this a month ago and traded him lol. They’re stupid.

Hopefully he stays in Las Vegas. Dallas doesn’t seem interested in him anymore and I don’t want to see Howie pull a magic trick and land him with the Eagles.

Most importantly, I think the player changed his mind about demanding to be traded.

I think the Eagles end up with Greenard.

Why???? Does he ever want to win

I know people keep saying "demanded" but we don't know for sure he demanded a trade or simply asked for one.

Demanding a trade suggests he was going to be unhappy if he remained.

Requesting a trade leaves room for teams to do something (not just financially) to show they want the player to stay.

Fish seems to think we are in on Greenard.

Yeah, damage control…what other options do they have? No one is close to offering what they wanted now.

The Raiders, on paper, have really improved defensively. They should keep him. I don't blame them.

If Mendoza hits they are in the game.

What aren’t people able to process?

The Ravens weren’t expecting Crosby to be able to pass the physical at this point in his rehab. It’s almost assuredly the reviewing doctors didn’t like something about his knee structurally/physiologically that made his short term future prognosis questionable for them to 1) give up all that draft capital; and 2) pay him all that money.

This is not unheard of.

The SF Giants failed Carlos Correa after his physical (ankle issue) after agreeing to terms on huge contract. The NY Mets promptly signed him only also fail him after his physical. I believe he ultimately signed with the Twins.

Based on what? Because they said so? And you believe them?

The Raiders are giving the Cowboys a run for their money for the NFL’s worst front office.
