Ravens GM Eric DeCosta says he was "gutted" that Maxx Crosby to Baltimore wasn't able to happen after his failed physical.


#Raiders DE Maxx Crosby addressed the fallout of his trade to Baltimore in the latest episode of @TheRushWithMaxx: - Ravens flew him to DC on Monday, then had to drive to Bmore. - He didn't meet with HC Jesse Minter and GM Eric DeCosta until the end of the day after he had his physical and MRI. "I didn't see [EDC] for five hours." - He said the energy was off when he finally met Minter and EDC, who informed him that one of the doctors had concerns w/ his knee and was going to get more opinions. - When Crosby went back to the hotel, his agents told him that they think Baltimore will back out of the deal. - A member from the Ravens called Crosby and said they were going to get the deal done. Five minutes later, Crosby receives a call from his agent, saying Baltimore has backed out of the deal. - "No one will ever admit what the real truth is. Ultimately, it doesn't matter. I am where I'm supposed to be," Crosby said.


I really thought this whole Crosby and Ravens saga was over. Honestly felt bad for Maxx after the trade fell through and how it happened. But now that he’s dragging this thing out in the media I really don’t feel bad at all. You say you’re happy to be a Raider and want to finish your career there, so stop playing victim and move on.

Maxx Crosby says on @TheRushWithMaxx that he didn’t see #Ravens GM Eric DeCosta or HC Jesse Minter during the first 5 hours of his visit, and when he finally met with DeCosta, the energy felt off. DeCosta then informed him they had concerns about his medicals. “I was thinking in my head, ‘what the f***?’” Crosby said his surgeon later called him and told him to listen to what they were saying: “They know you had your surgery nine weeks ago… You’ll be back by training camp.”
