Browns

Ravens 

  • The Ravens, at one point on Tuesday, approached Las Vegas and discussed renegotiating the Maxx Crosby trade to mitigate the risk. But those talks never fully got off the ground because further medical information led to their decision to pull out of the trade completely. (Jane Salter)

  • DeCosta added: “Nobody is more upset by this than me. I’m gutted by it.” (Zrebiec)
  • DeCosta said the team was attempting to sign Crosby and fellow DE Trey Hendrickson: “I understand how people would feel that way (about conspiracies). But I have a responsibility to the Ravens.” (Ian Rapoport)
  • DeCosta said they started discussions with Hendrickson after C Tyler Linderbaum left the team. “We were trying to sign Tyler. Just didn’t get it done.” (Zrebiec)
  • DeCosta said that Hendrickson being available in free agency had no influence on them backing out of the Crosby deal. (Jonas Shaffer)
