The Ravens backed out of the Maxx Crosby trade, and then almost immediately signed Trey Hendrickson to a 4-year deal. Is this shady from the Ravens, or did Crosby actually fail his physical?

Poni gets into it with a caller over the Ravens' Maxx Crosby situation. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike says that the Ravens had every right to back out of the Maxx Crosby trade, and Poni is out of line.
