The Baltimore Ravens<\/a>, in the hours and days after they walked back on the Maxx Crosby trade, were public enemy No. 1, with many questioning how the franchise would be received in future deals.<\/p>\n

Some thought that due to the Ravens walking back on the Maxx trade, it would hinder their ability to do business with some teams in the future.<\/p>\n

With things now quietening down, there is still a sense that some across the league aren’t entirely happy with how things were handled, despite the Ravens, technically, doing nothing wrong.<\/p>\n

But as for the reputation hit that many think the Ravens took, President Sashi Brown doesn’t think the franchise took a big one at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got strong and long relationships across the league,\u201d Brown said via The Athletic<\/a>. \u201cWe have emphasized the importance of doing things the right way. We\u2019ll continue to do that, and we understand that it is a headline story because of its profile and significance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe our relationships, to the extent that you need time to repair them, people understand who we are and what we\u2019re about. Our locker room understands that as well, but when you have high-profile transactions like this and opportunities like this, it\u2019s unfortunate that sometimes these things do happen. No fault of Maxx\u2019s or ours or the Raiders<\/a>, it\u2019s just (how) it played out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ravens set for 2026 bounce back?<\/p>\n

The franchise sure hopes so, as they missed out on the playoffs last season.<\/p>\n

The failed Crosby trade aside, the Ravens are still in a good position under Jesse Minter in Year 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yes, they lost Tyler Linderbaum and Isaiah Likely, but gained Trey Hendrickson, which leaves the franchise good in one area, but a little short in another.<\/p>\n

The draft will tell us where the Ravens view their weaknesses, and hopefully, the stench of the failed Crosby trade will dissipate. Because at the time, Baltimore got crushed for it, and rightly so, but as time goes on, it appears the views are softening.<\/p>\n

Still, it’s not exactly an ideal way to spend the offseason for a franchise with a first-time head coach.<\/p>\n
