Because a player failed his physical?

Some of yall need to take a deep breath, this sucks but there was no conspiracy, no last-minute backout panic from EDC, a guy failed his physical and now they go back and reopen talks with other players they thought lost cause of the cap implications since no move announced for any team is official yet cause nobody has put pen to paper

If it really is just a bad physical sure

Like yeah maybe you aren’t out there spending with the rest of the bad teams, but you’ve got to think there’s 1 or 2 guys they would have targeted if that Maxx trade never happened in the first place.

Undoubtedly true. Even applies to some of our own guys we let walk too.

Well this has ruined my night. Remember when Crosby was trying to say he wasn't injured and recorded himself shooting Basketball to make the Raiders look like the bad guys? Um yeah about that Mr. Crosby.... looks like you were injured after all! This also hurts the Raiders too because not only do they get Maxx back but his failed physical designation basically means they have no leverage in a future trade.

Not to start a conspiracy, but there was a story the other day that Tom Brady blocked a Crosby trade to NE. Is that because he KNEW he was injured and was willing to F@ck us but not the Pats and Vrabel?! Just wondering. At least we got the picks back!
 
It’s not that uncommon for a trade to fall through due to a failed physical. Just so happens this was the biggest trade in team history.

Can't imagine the repercussions if Maxx came up lame after we gave up two firsts. Better to not take the chance.

What do you mean? It is extremely clear that from days ago, EDC set his direction on the offseason to forgo a lot of our players as well as other free agents because of the Crosby trade. It also obviously affected the draft process and therefore the secondary free agent market strategy.

Everyone else moved forward towards their goals. A million moves were made. But now that our SINGLE move which was the early offeseason strategy is now null, we are unbelievably far behind compared to the oher teams.

i mean i still don't think there's basically any of those deals that i'd have been interested in for the guys who left...
 
We can never have anything nice

Now I'm curious to know how much due diligence did EDC and co. do. And now we got this.....

See. I told yall there is due diligence to be done.

Now that tweet is making it seem like they tried to scam us. But that's brain dead.

Vegas gets absolutely no gain whatsoever and a whole lotta pain when this exact situation occurs. Because now they're on the hook for that money, and the trade value drops astronomically.
 
Idk how people think edc has done a horrible job lol.. want him to draft a 3rnd graded guard in the first so it can make you feel better about going after “ trench” players lol.
