The Baltimore Ravens<\/a> shocked the NFL when they agreed to trade for edge rusher Maxx Crosby<\/a>. Then the Ravens shocked everyone again by backing out of the trade<\/a> after Crosby failed his physical. Now NFL executives are taking aim at Baltimore with accusations of acting in bad faith.<\/p>\n

The Athletic\u2019s Mike Sando shared quotes from league executives<\/a> in a recent article. Multiple executives seemed to suggest that Baltimore acted in bad faith by slow-playing Crosby\u2019s physical.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019ll ever find out the answer,\u201d an exec from another team said. \u201cI would not put it past them to agree to this trade and then slow-play the physical.\u201d<\/p>\n

One executive argued that, if the Ravens really wanted Crosby, they would have acted swiftly to get a physical evaluation done. They would not have waited days to complete it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you really wanted the guy, you would get him in there for his physical as soon as possible,\u201d another exec said. \u201cYou would pull your doctors off whatever they were doing. That\u2019s easy. It was advantageous for the Ravens to slow-play the physical and keep open their options. That is why I believe the narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n

As it stands, many around the NFL believe that Baltimore dragged their feet because they were exploring other options. It certainly looks suspicious that they immediately signed Trey Hendrickson<\/a> after backing out of the deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy point is, the Ravens didn\u2019t get cold feet,\u201d another exec said. \u201cThey wanted one high-quality edge rusher, and they felt Maxx Crosby<\/a>, like most people did, was the best one available, and he was worth two first-round picks, presuming they could not get Hendrickson.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hopefully the Ravens can eventually shake off the stink of the failed Crosby trade. But it may require a lot of time to pass first.<\/p>\n
