Graney: Place blame on Ravens — not Raiders — in Maxx Crosby trade fiasco

The Baltimore Ravens have been blamed for their decision to abandon a trade for Las Vegas Raiders star defensive end Maxx Crosby. The Ravens reportedly saw something in Crosby's physical that scared them off from following through with the agreement. The Raiders, however, knew about Crosby's injury history, his injury history and his rehab progress. They also knew that the Ravens had second thoughts about giving up draft capital. However, they later signed edge rusher Trey Hendrickson on a four-year, $120 million deal less than 24 hours later. The trade decision could potentially impact the Raiders' ability to add valuable asset to a significant rebuild. Graney suggests that the market for Crosby remains strong and that the team should still try to find a trade partner.
