Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase reacted strongly after learning the Baltimore Ravens had traded for star pass rusher Maxx Crosby.
According to a report originally published by Fox News, Chase was streaming a video game online when he received a message from Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow about the trade.
After reading the text, Chase gave an emotional response live on stream: “Joe just [expletive] texted me. Ravens traded for Maxx Crosby. No [expletive]. No[expletive]brother.
“I am [expletive] very [expletive] now. Oh my God.”
Chase seemed shocked that another elite pass rusher had joined the AFC North, a division already known for its strong defensive players.
The division consists of Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett and Pittsburgh Steelers All Pro linebacker TJ Watt.
While reacting to the news, Chase added: “How do we let this happen [expletive] go to the [expletive] division brother?”
The Baltimore Ravens reportedly sent two first-round picks to the Las Vegas Raiders to acquire Crosby, including the No. 14 overall pick in next month’s NFL Draft.
Crosby, a five-time Pro Bowl edge rusher, spent seven seasons with the Raiders before moving to Baltimore.
