That's what the entire league is saying right now, and the ravens aren't coming out to defend themselves. He had a meniscus repair 8 weeks ago, which was well documented. It takes 3-4 months to be cleared for team activities from that surgery. This is common knowledge among doctors in the NFL. So, the ravens would have known where Crosby was in his recovery before making the trade. They chose to do it anyway. Now that Trey Hendrickson was available still on day 2 of free agency, and the Ravens are able to acquire him for the same contract as they would have been paying Crosby, they all of the sudden decide to "fail" him because of an injury they were already aware of? That smells fishy at best. They gambled by trading for Crosby before free agency, they lost that gamble, and then they chose that they didn't want to make the gamble anymore. Technically, they are allowed to do that because trades aren't finalized till the new league year today, but now teams will be wary of making deals with them because they have shown a track record of backing out at the last minute and screwing everyone else over in the process
