Maxx Crosby trade update: The latest in the drama of this trade should make the Chicago Bears pause on a deal.<\/p>\n
The Maxx Crosby<\/a> trade story is truly the story that won\u2019t go away. Of course, the Chicago Bears<\/a> were one of the interested teams during the NFL offseason, when Crosby was being actively traded. Head coach Ben Johnson didn\u2019t go through with it, and instead, Crosby was traded to the Baltimore Ravens<\/a> on March 6.<\/p>\n But, we all know what happened. Within a few days of the trade, the Ravens untraded him, and Crosby was back<\/a> to being a \u201cRaider for life.\u201d No player is anything for life in the NFL<\/a>, though, it\u2019s it\u2019s not out of the realm of possibility that Crosby would get traded again during the offseason or before the trade deadline in the fall.<\/p>\n So, if the Chicago Bears still want Crosby, they have a chance to get him. But, some of the player\u2019s comments are raising an eyebrow.\u00a0During the Tuesday, March 17 episode of his podcast show, \u201cThe Rush With Maxx Crosby,\u201d<\/a> the player opened up about his Ravens experience. He said it was \u201cprobably one of the most unique, crazy, wild, up-and-down roller coasters I\u2019ve ever been a part of.\u201d<\/p>\n Maxx Crosby Comments Draw a Skeptical Eye, Chicago Bears Should Note<\/p>\n During the show, Crosby said he didn\u2019t meet with Ravens head coach Jesse Minter until after his physical and also rattled off other timeline details. On meeting general manager Eric DeCosta, Crosby said, \u201cI didn\u2019t get to see the GM at all. I thought I was gonna see him when I first got there. I didn\u2019t see him for five hours.\u201d<\/p>\n Crosby added, \u201cI don\u2019t know why. I am not going to speculate. I even asked, \u2018Where\u2019s Eric (DeCosta)?\u2019 You know what I mean? He just made the trade. I didn\u2019t see him for five hours.\u201d<\/p>\n In a Tuesday, March 24, feature, ESPN\u2019s Ryan McFadden<\/a> shared insider insight into the ordeal. According to McFadden, the reason Baltimore decided not to do it was because they were worried about the discovery of a degenerative problem that surfaced in his surgically repaired knee.<\/p>\n Also, it\u2019s worth noting that in his report, the Baltimore Ravens pushed back on Crosby\u2019s statement about the timeline of him meeting with management.<\/p>\n Maxx Crosby Statement Gets Pushback<\/p>\n In a Wednesday, March 25 piece for the Baltimore Ravens\u2019 official website<\/a>, reporter Kevin Eck notes that, \u201cOn a side note, McFadden noted in his article that Crosby said on his podcast that he had been at the Ravens\u2019 facility for five hours before he met Head Coach Jesse Minter and General Manager Eric DeCosta. However, the following addendum to the article disputed Crosby\u2019s recollection.\u201d<\/p>\n That addendum stated, \u201cAfter this story was published, a source indicated Minter and other defensive coaches met with Crosby within minutes of him walking into the team facility. DeCosta, who was trying to keep his own free agents and sign others on the first day of the legal tampering period, met with Crosby later that afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n If the Chicago Bears want a player they can truly trust in Crosby, that\u2019s just another detail that should get their attention.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tAnne Erickson<\/strong><\/a> is an award-winning reporter for Heavy Sports covering the NFL, NBA and college football.
