Hendrickson to Ravens

Take that LAS VEGAS

For a deal to get done that quick after them backing out of the Crosby trade makes you wonder if they were negotiating the whole time, reached a FA deal that obviously didn't require losing two first round draft picks and then used Crosby's health as an excuse to cover it.

Sneaky ravens man

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

So, we wouldn’t do it for $28M AAV?

These idiots are unserious.

Ravens are like, "We'll take Crosby. Great job everyone. Oh wait...nevermind, we don't want him now. Let's take Hendrickson instead." LOL

Sounds like the union should get involved.

Yeah. Sounds sketchy.

Yup

I still think this was all about buyer’s remorse for the Ravens. They didn’t expect the price of Hendrickson to drop so low and started thinking about losing those 2 first round picks. They used the failed physical as a chance to bail. Everyone knows that a repaired meniscus takes 3 - 4 months to completely heal. I hope every team gives them the middle finger the next time they try to make a trade.

Devil is in the details with this so I am curious about the guaranteed money.

But in theory, given we only inherited Gray's base salaries, we likely could have had both Gray and Hendrickson and gone from a decent DL to arguably one of the best with Clark, Williams, Gray, Hendrickson, etc.

 

[Sydla]

And yeah, that's some shady #@$% on the part of the Ravens.

Remember, they also traded Jaire Alexander to Philly on 11/1/25 and ten days later he basically retired.

ooof, not a bad deal at all.

Why Dallas wasn't in on this is puzzling other than the fact I know that Jerry and his son are cheap and likely thought just doing a few things on day one would give them cover.

Because of Stephen Jones that's why...

60 million guaranteed. 4 years. 28 mil AAV

It may seem unscrupulous but everything was done in adherence to the current rules of FA.
If the owners, players and league dont like it they just need to change the rules.

 

[ksadler1]

Look on the bright side folks. Neither Jerry or Stephen will be around another 30 years. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, alot of us won't be either.

That was my first thought last night when the Crosby news broke
