The Miami Dolphins know what this situation is like.
No, they're not the team that traded for Maxx Crosby, only to back out due to a failed physical. That's the Baltimore Ravens, who decided they couldn't go through with the deal with the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Dolphins, though, have been here before.
They were involved in what turned out to be the most famous failed physical in NFL history.
It was 2006 free agency, and Drew Brees was available. Miami had the QB from the Chargers ready to sign a contract.
Then in his physical, the Dolphins deemed that Brees' right shoulder was too likely not to return to full strength. They backed out of the agreement.

Miami instead signed Daunte Culpepper to play for Nick Saban.
Brees joined the New Orleans Saints, won a Super Bowl and became a Hall of Famer and one of the best QBs in NFL history.
Not to rub it in, Dolphins fans, but that really didn't work out.
Think of all the domino effects at play, too. Saban ended up failing with the Dolphins and went to Alabama to win a bunch of national titles. And obviously there is quite the coaching and player tree coming out of Saban's time with the Crimson Tide.
The Raiders would certainly take the Saints' side of that outcome. If Crosby leads them to a Super Bowl and becomes a Hall of Famer, all of this would be a fun thing for Vegas fans to look back on.
And if that happens, the Ravens might not recall it as fondly.
