OTL: Crosby Out, Hendrickson In! An Insane Few Hours in Baltimore

Where to begin?

All week, Ravens fans watched pieces of the 2025 roster be torn away. Stars, fan favorites, and key contributors left Baltimore in Free Agency, but the city had one thing to hang its hat on: the arrival of EDGE Maxx Crosby. That is, until Tuesday evening:

First of all, this story feels like it’s still being written. Even still, it’s unbelievable and is making waves throughout the league:

I feel like I could just keep posting reactions, but I’ll spare you. The point is, the Ravens are at the center of one of the biggest SNAFUs in recent memory, and just when you thought the offseason couldn’t get any weirder, it did.

I say weirder, because it’s hard to know how to feel about this. On one hand, Baltimore’s poor start to free agency left it with a long list of to-dos:

At the time, this added a colossal hole to the list:

On the other hand, the Ravens have consistently been conservative when it comes to injury outlooks. If Crosby’s injury truly caused concerns, is he someone we’d want the team to trade two 1st Round Picks for?

CJ LaBoy, Crosby’s agent, stated that the EDGE could even be considered “ahead of schedule.” Overnight and into the morning, however, it was reported that the Dallas Cowboys team surgeon (and one of the league’s best) may have advised against trading for Crosby. Similarly, Diana Russini noted that the pass rusher’s long-term health was the primary concern. Ian Rapaport also highlighted that both sides wanted this to work out, despite the medical update. The point is, things still feel unclear:

Regardless, this does not look good for anybody, and the Ravens may need to provide some sort of explanation. After all, their offseason looked to be entirely derailed:

Even if you want to trust that the health concerns were enough to push back on the deal, GM Eric DeCosta looks bad. While teams have pulled out of trades before, it’s incredibly rare that one this massive falls through. As a result, conspiracy theories will fly:

Needless to say, we all knew it would be fascinating to see how this shifted the Ravens offseason attack. The O-Line was in catastrophic shape; The pass rush was back at square one; Mark Andrews was the team’s only Tight End; Baltimore had just one boundary CB; We knew the team was looking for a third Safety; Keaton Mitchell hadn’t been tendered a contract.

While many of those holes remain, two significant updates were provided around 9AM:

While I’ll choose to believe that Baltimore pulled out of the Crosby trade for the right reasons (albeit bad news for the EDGE himself), it’s hard not to question whether the Ravens’ moves were a bit slimy here. Either way, did this roller coaster of a 12 hour period leave Baltimore better off than it was before?

What a ride…
