Even more stunning, however, was the Ravens backing out of that trade Tuesday because Crosby failed a physical.</p><p>Crosby, 28, has made the Pro Bowl for the Raiders each of the last five seasons and has 69 1/2 career sacks in seven seasons. In addition to the draft picks the Bears would've given up for Crosby, he has $121.1 million left on his contract over the next four seasons.</p>",
