Summary
Remember those couple days where Maxx Crosby was on the Ravens and the Raiders had two extra first-round picks to work with the in the next two drafts? Crazy, right? Anyway, that's done. Crosby's back with the Raiders—for now—and instead Trey Hendrickson is the newest edge rusher in Baltimore. So yeah, we've got quite a bit to talk about here on The Athletic Football Show on the third day of free agency week. Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman also discuss Daniel Jones' deal with the Colts, a couple new defenders for the Commanders, and more.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Athletic Football Show. I'm Robert Mays. We were a little bit worried as we were |
| 0:07.9 | planning today's show yesterday that we wouldn't have anything to talk about. And the NFL never |
| 0:13.4 | seems to disappoint. Max Crosby come, or I guess the Ravens come through for us and give us plenty |
| 0:19.3 | to talk about today. The Max Crosby trade |
| 0:22.0 | nixed on Baltimore's side of it because of a failed physical. We spent a lot of time talking about |
| 0:28.1 | whether this is a conspiracy, how much actually changed when the Ravens got to take a look at this, |
| 0:33.9 | whether Trey Henderson's availability played into this, how much it might have |
| 0:38.1 | really enjoyed this conversation with Dave and Derek. The other big bit of news today, |
| 0:42.3 | Daniel Jones, science's two-year extension with the Colts. I have begrudgingly come to a place |
| 0:48.0 | where I think I understand the Daniel Jones move for the Colts. We dove into that from a bunch |
| 0:52.6 | of different angles and then the rest of the |
| 0:54.9 | signings that have kind of rolled in over the last 24 hours or so. Chat a little bit about |
| 0:58.7 | Rieck Wolland going to the Eagles. Some of the signings that commanders have made. Kevin Byard went |
| 1:03.7 | to the Patriots right before we started recording. The Jalen Hawkins signing happened as we were |
| 1:09.0 | recording. Sped a little time talking about the Jets |
| 1:11.2 | after the Dylan Parham news came down, a bunch of different stuff to story through with Dave |
| 1:16.4 | and Derek. Let's get to that conversation right now. |
| 1:23.7 | And here we thought, as of yesterday afternoon, that we might not have anything to talk about today. Now we're going to have something to talk about that we've never had to deal with before, really, in the way that the Max Crosby thing went down. You just reminded me of Ferris Bueller. You said you weren't going to have anything. You said we weren't going to have any fun today. We're going to have plenty of fun today. Last night was awesome. |
| 1:44.6 | I mean, just you see that come across the timeline. |
| 1:46.6 | It was very funny. |
| 1:47.3 | We were sitting there. |
| 1:48.1 | We're watching How to Go to Heaven from Belfast on Netflix, which has been very enjoyable. |
