What happened with Maxx Crosby's trade to the Ravens?
I could do Stephen A. 's job, guys. It's not that hard. Danny Parkins. QB1 party. All are invited. Host of Fox Sports 1's First Things First. Coming in at number six, though, the team that should be the favorites in the NFC North, though the odds makers say they're the third best team, my Chicago Bears. Why can't the Chicago Bears be the best offense in football? The Bears, plenty of reason to doubt them. Caleb Williams, no. Former host of 670 The Score, before he abandoned us. That's a Caleb Williams custom, baby. Jersey number one is going to the Raptors. You guys made it seem like a Chicago Bears fan.
How serious are Maxx Crosby's health issues?
We had our guy, Danny Parkins, all these guys. Danny Parkins on 104.3 The Score. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody, and it is a Wednesday at 1 o'clock, and that means we talk to our friend Danny Parkins. Danny, formerly with us here at The Score, I don't think he abandoned us, but that's what our open says. He hosts First Things First on Fox Sports 1. You can check out the newly expanded edition from 4 to 5. He joins us on our hotline and on Twitch, twitch.tv slash thescorechicago. Hey, Danny, how are you? I'm great. And this week with Nick Wright in Japan, I'm in for the full three hours. So I'm in from two to five central. I think you've got a victory lap to take in just under an hour because you predicted you did not think that Max Crosby was going to go for two firsts.
Well, by default and frankly, by order of backing out of the trade, I'm pretty sure you're going to be right. Yeah, and I said he wasn't going to go for what Micah Parsons went for, which was two firsts and a player. So I was already right when he just went for two firsts, although some people didn't agree with that characterization, but it was true.
What was Roberto Garza's experience with a failed physical?
And then, yeah, now the price is going to come down. You know, this is a very, very, very weird story with obvious Bears ramifications that we can get into if you want. But... You go back and you look at the history. I think we did this last week on the show. The guys who have been traded for who are non-quarterbacks for multiple first-round pick were all 25 and 26 with one 27-year-old in that mix over the last decade. And then Crosby was 29 coming off of knee surgery. And then when the Ravens did it, I was especially shocked because there's a big difference between a late first-round pick and the 14th pick in the draft. So... I think the Raiders are rightly furious. I think the Ravens are correctly getting questioned.
And now there's huge ramifications for the rest of the league. But it was a huge gamble that Baltimore took. And I think on some level they got cold feet. And the question now becomes, Danny, outside of that criticism that you're talking about and then both those teams trying to figure it out, what they're doing next.
How did Garza's failed physical impact his career with the Bears?
Well, we know what the Ravens did, obviously, with the Trey Hendrickson news. I wonder, should the Bears be in on him? And I think they should. But I wonder, what is the actual cost at this point going to be for Max Crosby? What do you think? I don't think the Raiders will give him away. Right. They came into this offseason with about as much cap space as anybody in football. They can still afford him because of it. They were trying to trade Crosby because they were trying to get younger and line up assets around Fernando Mendoza, not because they could not afford Max Crosby. There is a difference. Rashawn Gary got traded to Dallas because it wasn't really tenable for Green Bay to keep his cap hit. DJ Moore got traded to Buffalo not because he's a bad player,
but partly because it wasn't tenable for the Bears. They needed to reallocate those financial resources from offense towards defense.
What are the implications of Crosby's trade fallout for the Bears?
The Raiders could afford Crosby. They just didn't think he was in line with their timeline. So I don't think all of a sudden Max Crosby is going to be available for a second-round pick. But I think that... The complications of the trade are just going to have to be conditional. We'll trade you a second this year and a future first, but that future first becomes a future second or third if he misses games this year with a knee injury.
