The Maxx Crosby trade between the Baltimore Ravens and the Las Vegas Raiders that got cancelled is one of the biggest topics in the news this week. Many people seem to be upset with the Ravens for backing out of the trade deal which is just totally ridiculous. Nobody is talking about how the Raiders went after our center (Tyler Linderbaum) who they knew we were trying to re-sign and overpaid him with a truck load of money during the process. Raiders started the war by snatching our center first. So here's my advice for the Raiders and Raiders Nation, stop crying. Next time you want the Ravens to take a player with a bum knee who wants out, don't try to steal our star center.

This increases the likelihood of negative plays, forced turnovers, and third-down stops. By making rival teams much less comfortable in the pocket and increasing overall defensive efficiency in the cutthroat AFC North, this decision demonstrates the Ravens' dedication to reverting to their defensive identity under new leadership.
