So next play on what it is that's going to happen here with Crosby because, Zez, I think a lot of people, okay,

Enjoy NFL free agency.

And I don't think in all of the transactions and movement that there's been over the last 10 days that there was anything bigger than Max Crosby being traded to the Ravens.

Max Crosby, 28 years old, in his prime.

a very good pass rusher, and the Ravens doing something they never do, which is trading future capital for today.

It's just not the way they've ever run their organization philosophically, but they thought this pass rusher was so important, and they thought their defense was so bad last year that they needed to get the MVP of the league or someone who's been the MVP of the league help immediately.

Well, because of that, because of wherever it is.

Look, the Ravens are behaving the way the Rams are with Stafford because they're like, we've got to win now and we think we're a piece away.

So they pivot off of Max Crosby, who Jerry Jones was also interested in.

And now they go to Trey Hendrickson, which was the best available other option.

You have to pay him and it doesn't cost you anything.

Paying him is different than costing you the kind of draft capital that Max Crosby was going to cost you.

So it's just salary cap as opposed to future that you're trading for him.

But the mechanics of what just happened.

Why are the Ravens more aggressively in on pass rusher than anyone else in the sport when Jerry Jones also wants a pass rusher?

How is Jerry Jones finishing second on both of these guys?

Because I think now Max Crosby is indeed damaged goods, right?

You can have happen to you with Max Crosby what just happened to the Packers with Micah Parsons.

It's a dangerous game.

You're trading for your last piece, and then your last piece gets injured, and you're bleeped.
