Maxx Crosby trade to Ravens falls apart over physical — still a Raider

Well, now, that was a whole lot of fuss for absolutely nothing, wasn't it? Maxx Crosby, the great white whale of this supposed trade season, was apparently a Raven for all of about five minutes. Turns out, Baltimore’s medical staff took one look at him and decided he was more of a *return to sender* than a *new defensive anchor*. So, he’s back to being a Raider, probably wondering why he even bothered packing. And here we all thought the draft was going to be spicy.

Meanwhile, A.J. Brown, who Philadelphia *definitely* wasn't trading, is still in Philadelphia, despite all the rumblings. Shocker. As for our Patriots, well, we're really making waves here. We signed a safety named Mike Brown to a one-year deal. Not exactly the kind of move that sends tremors through the AFC East, is it? More like a gentle ripple in a particularly still pond. Don’t sprain your wrist celebrating, folks. It's just another Tuesday in Foxborough.
