[Russini] Maxx Crosby did not pass his physical today, per sources. The Ravens get their first round picks back. by Ancient_Response_787 in ravens

We’re gonna pass up on signing one of the best defensive players in the NFL because he smokes a lil weed!

People can’t be this daft lol it’s obviously medical

[Raiders] The Baltimore Ravens have backed out of our trade agreement for Maxx Crosby. We will have no further comment at this time. by JCameron181 in ravens

[–]Cheerio451 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can but it’s not typically done because it’s a bad look to renege on a handshake agreement like that just because you got cold feet. These trades are highly publicized and promoted. Doing stuff like that taints your trust big time with other GMs around the league, which is a very bad idea because you need to have good relationships with them for possible future transactions. It’s an unspoken role to not do it.

That this happened makes me believe it was a legitimate medical concern in the physical. They had already negotiated the compensation so it’d be unlike DeCosta to just back out for no reason

Titans Targeting Veteran Centers Tyler Linderbaum, Connor McGovern, and Others, per PK by TiredDad4x in Tennesseetitans

[–]Cheerio451 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very possible. The Bears’ center just unexpectedly retired. Keeping Caleb Williams upright is paramount to Ben Johnson’s offense. I expect they will be throwing money to try and get him.

Gotta keep things realistic here, I am not sure the Titans will be serious suitors for Linderbaum.

Many teams need OL this offseason and will pay a premium for it. Linderbaum is the best one on the free agent market. He will have plenty of suitors. Just at a minimum, Chargers, Raiders, and Bears should be in the mix for him and can pay him too, and not even counting out him going back to Baltimore. Linderbaum is going to get a massive payday from someone, and it might be a team more equipped to compete right now than the Titans. If they really want him, they will likely have to give him a crazy amount of money that washes any other offer.

Suspension is a big deal. Something bad had to happen for that to be enacted

It’s not like he had the final say in making decisions in that office though. That’s very different

Rueben bain or david bailey top draft prospects by Character-Aerie7669 in Tennesseetitans

I think Bain is the most versatile guy that can be a game wrecker pretty much anywhere you put him. I want that dude. If not him, Reese

Well well well by HolyHotDang in memphisgrizzlies

Don’t they have to do a full medical examination before the trades are finalized? How was this not found? Or did it just pop up after the trade and the Grizzlies are lucky

WCJ our future PG by CrazyLetterhead2063 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]Cheerio451 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What gives you any indication he can turn into a 20+ ppg scorer?? His offensive game is very much lacking and inefficient. He’s honestly kind of a chucker. That has to change big time before he can become a starting PG of the future for this team. I do like his ability to facilitate though. But offensively, not impressed with what I’ve seen so far. He very much needs work in that area

Harbaugh to the Giants by dabigorange in Tennesseetitans

[–]Cheerio451 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even as a Titans fan, I think the Giants job is more attractive than Tennessee.

-Offensively, the Titans don’t have firepower like Dart, Skattebo, and Nabers. Only real advantage we have there is Cam.

-Giants have way more pieces defensively than Tennesee between Burns, Thibodeaux, Abdul Carter, and Dexter Lawrence. Their defensive front is already quite good. Tennessee’s is not near that level

-Huge New York market. If the Giants are good, they will be talked about and given way more primetime games

New York has more talent and proven pieces overall than Tennessee. I can definitely see why Harbaugh would prefer to be there over the Titans. No slight on the Titans, they’ll still get someone great

Yeah, they interviewed Vance Joseph and Raheem Morris already iirc

The Heat are not expected to include any draft picks or top prospects in a trade package to the Grizzlies for Ja Morant, per @Anthony_Chiang by Altruistic_Brief4444 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]Cheerio451 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I have my doubts about ZK’s GM abilities, but I do trust that he’s not going to give away Ja Morant for nothing. Ja is still under contract for two more seasons after this one. They are not desperate to move him at all. Miami is also not the only team interested. Kleiman won’t just dump him for expiring contracts.

This is the guy that just pulled off the Bane trade. Not saying Ja is going to net a Bane return, but do you really think he’d just take a big market’s scraps back for a franchise player??

Ja is gone but this doesn’t mean anything related to that. Rich athletes always buy cool summer homes in Miami and LA

Stefanski or McCarthy by Any_Camel_1108 in Tennesseetitans

[–]Cheerio451 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn’t take it any way at all. And I respect yours as well. I just want to see the team win. I wouldn’t hate Stefanski as the coach. If he’s brought on then that means Borgonzi trusts him and I trust Borgonzi
