I need you all who are arguing against me to look what every indication from people in the league are saying.

They had better take 2 teams coming off a bye week if they expect them to play on a Wednesday. 

They won't do that because teams who get a bye week have an entire week plus off.  They get the standard week off and then the entire next week to prepare for the game.  I believe it's in the CBA but could be wrong.  They also can't play on a Saturday before because they're not allowed to play on a Saturday (or Friday) at that time of year.  I think the only way it would work is playing multiple Thursday games the week before, maybe one very late game like they used to do with MNF and then two of those teams play the following Wednesday.

If you get a stud DE the D only needs a LB and then I target LB Jacob Rodriguez and a WR at the top of two and TN has solved big issues and then can use the rest of the draft to fix the OL and depth.

I get what you are saying.  However, most think the medicals were in line with "what most expected".

 

GM's around the league have been quoted that it is pretty much bullshit.

 

And, the Ravens didn't come out and say it was a failed physical and the Raiders said it was that the Ravens pulled out of the deal, not that Crosby failed a physical.

 

I personally dislike both teams, so I don't have a dog in the fight.  But, this does appear to erode the trust of the process.

 

An example that was brought up on a KC Sports Talk Radio station by a national reporter was when the Chiefs and Eagles traded in the 2025 draft.  The Chiefs just asked the Eagles offense or defense.  The Eagles said defense, the Chiefs traded.  But, what if the Eagles knew the Chiefs wanted Simmons and traded ahead to select him.

 

There is a certain honor among GM's that you won't be completely transparent, but you won't lie in the process of a trade.  And, you won't back out of a trade without something unforeseen being discovered on the physical.

 

And, I believe that the medical records for Crosby were shared (at Crosby's permission) with the Ravens prior to the final trade negotiation.

 

So, this certainly feels dirty.  It will be interesting to see if there are any other ramifications moving forward.

Right now I would trade #4 for Crosby if the Raiders gave us their two this year.  

I think that is way too high of a price, personally.   I thought the Ravens were stupid as well.  It certainly seems like they may have never intended to complete the trade unless they couldn't get better in free agency.

This is my monthly: how the hell do you remember this stuff ?
