Baltimore reneging on the Crosby deal spiked any chances of Hendrickson. Rumor is Trey was deciding between the Colts and Commanders when Baltimore swooped in.
You’d call both. First call would be to Vegas to gauge what they’re thinking IMO. In any case, doubt it happens but wouldn’t be surprised if there was some ripple effect from the Crosby renege.
Not a trade — Vegas backing out of the deal bc of the Crosby situation. They haven’t (or at least hadn’t) actually inked him yet. The contract going to hurt w $30m less cap space than they thought they’d have
Nobody's trading for Aiyuk they're just punishing him for his antics by delaying his release during FA period when teams are spending the most money. Works out fine for us bc we can see how the rest of FA and draft plays out then get him on a prove-it deal whenever he's available. Maybe we save...
You don't back out of a trade after agreeing to terms just bc you think you can sign someone else. Has to be either medicals or they found out he's a crackhead or something lol
Broken record here but AP strikes me as someone who wants to "win the contract" more than he wants to get his guy.
Probably looked at the Linderbaum deal and thought wow LV got fleeced. Well guess what, they HAVE THE PLAYER. Mendoza going to walk into a better situation than Jayden has in year...
My $0.02 is that AP is philosophically all about staying disciplined and not exceeding your internal willingness to pay valuations. That's fine at a destination franchise like San Fran and New England where he cut his teeth. But he is in Washington and we don't have that kind of juice. Not yet...
