Ravens Pissed at Bears

[MarionBarberThe4th]

"Whatever you hear, Baltimore did everything the right way," Bears GM Jerry Angelo told Chicago media. "There were a lot of things happening in the draft room. We were getting a lot of calls, we just ... dropped the ball. I dropped the ball. I can't say anything more than that."
All's well that ends well, you say? Not so fast. Angelo called Baltimore owner Steve Bisciotti to apologize, but Bisciotti wanted the fourth-round pick anyway, claiming it was part of the deal they'd agreed to. In fact, I'm told Bisciotti today will push to get the fourth-round pick, or to make the situation right in some way.
The league is under no obligation to do so, because the trade was never official. And maybe all's fair in love and draft-night trades, but as far as Baltimore's concerned, I don't think this one's over. I think the Ravens will ask the league to award them some compensation from Chicago before the draft resumes at 6 p.m. Eastern today. Stay tuned.

Shut up Baltimore.

They werent taking Baldwin anyway. If they took a WR he would need speed since their whole offense is huge but lacks quickness.

Bisciotti needs to grow up.

You screw up and fail to come through on a deal then you should pay for it.

 

[Sarge]

I can see some new rules coming.

 

[SaltwaterServr]

Smacks of sour grapes.

Poor whittle Ravens.

what exactly happened?

what exactly happened?

They were trying to get a trade worked out....it collapsed at the last second, literally. Time ran out, the next team turned their pick in. Ravens then had to pick a spot back because they were passed.

Ravens fault. They should have turned their pick in before time ran out. They know better than that.
