Lol should the Pats take a gamble on Crosby now that his trade value has dropped significantly?
Kraft isn?t paying Crosby $35M/year. He didn?t even want to pay Brady.
Maybe not, but note that the Ravens trade was pretty universally liked from the Ravens perspective. I don?t think I heard anything other than excitement from Ravens fans. He failed the physical due to the condition of his surgically repaired knee. Given the info the Ravens didn?t like the risk. I think it?s probably wise to think they knew what they were doing when they negated the trade. So - no I don?t think the pats trade for him, not because Kraft is cheap but because it?s unwise.
There's a theory out there that the Ravens got cold feet and used the physical as an excuse. There's no proof of that, but it will be interesting to see if any other teams come to a different conclusion.
I do think the Ravens would be better off signing Hendrickson (also an injury risk) and keeping the two #1s. They have some holes to fill.
