New Maxx Crosby Trade Rumors on Raiders Plans for Star DE After Failed Ravens Deal

After the failed trade that was supposed to send star defensive end Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens, the Las Vegas Raiders reportedly haven't ruled out the possibility of shipping him away later this year.

During an appearance on SportsCenter on Sunday (1:20 mark), ESPN's Jeremy Fowler revealed that even though Crosby is committed to remaining with the Raiders, the team could still be convinced to deal him away.

"Everybody seems like they're in a good spot, but since they've already looked at trading, they're open to that possibility, potentially, if the right offer would come," Fowler said. "We're looking at timelines here; now is gonna be a little slow, but you get closer to the draft, perhaps trade offers will heat up, or even maybe closer to the season. But right now, he's a Raider, and that's expected for at least a little while."

The Raiders were set to acquire two first-round picks from the Ravens in exchange for Crosby, but Baltimore backed out on the agreement. ESPN's Ryan McFadden reported that the Ravens chose not to acquire Crosby after "medical concerns that arose during a physical."

While Las Vegas may not be fully committed to moving forward with Crosby, the five-time Pro Bowler expressed excitement over his return to Sin City and affirmed his commitment to the team:

Crosby dealt with a left knee injury toward the end of the 2025 season and underwent surgery in January to repair a torn meniscus. After the deal with Baltimore was nixed last week, his agent, CJ LaBoy, released a statement saying that the 28-year-old "remains on track to return during the offseason program [and] will undoubtedly return as the dominant game wrecker he has been these past [seven] seasons."

Still, it sounds like the Raiders could choose to accelerate their rebuild by trading Crosby for future assets, so teams around the league will spend the next few weeks trying to find the right offer that would land the two-time All-Pro selection.
