The Story in 60 Seconds

The Baltimore Ravens took proactive measures during their recent trade for Philadelphia Eagles center Cam Jurgens to prevent issues previously encountered in a failed deal. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Baltimore sent two team doctors directly to Philadelphia to conduct Jurgens's physical before finalizing the trade agreement.

Most NFL trades are agreed upon pending a physical, which led to embarrassment last offseason when Maxx Crosby failed his physical following an agreed deal with the Las Vegas Raiders. While the Ravens successfully avoided another collapsed trade, the team reportedly still received criticism regarding the assets surrendered in the deal.
