Maxx Crosby Trade Falls Through
The trade to send Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens is off, marking a significant turn of events for both the player and the teams involved. The Ravens backed out of the trade agreement due to medical concerns after Crosby failed his physical examination.
Crosby was initially set to be traded for two first-round picks, including the Ravens’ 14th overall pick in the upcoming 2026 draft. This trade was expected to address the Ravens’ pressing need for a top defensive player.
In January 2026, Crosby underwent meniscus surgery, which raised concerns about his health status. Despite his impressive career statistics, with 69.5 sacks and 133 tackles for loss over seven years with the Las Vegas Raiders, the failed physical has now jeopardized his potential move.
Crosby signed a three-year, $106.5 million contract extension in March 2025, solidifying his position as a key player for the Raiders. However, he expressed frustration with the team after being placed on injured reserve in December 2025, indicating a desire for a fresh start.
The Ravens have a history of rescinding deals due to failed physicals, which adds context to their decision to withdraw from this trade. The Cowboys are also not expected to re-engage in trade discussions for Crosby, further complicating his situation.
As the news unfolds, it remains uncertain whether a Crosby deal can be revived in some form. Details remain unconfirmed regarding his future with the Raiders or potential interest from other teams.
Maxx Crosby has expressed his commitment to giving everything he has to bring a championship to his team, highlighting his dedication despite the recent setback.
