Why Maxx Crosby Ravens trade collapsed and what comes next
The Ravens had agreed to acquire Crosby in a blockbuster trade that would have sent first-round picks in 2026 and 2027 to the Raiders before the deal suddenly fell apart.
However, the agreement was rescinded during the medical process after Baltimore raised concerns following Crosby’s physical examination.
The defensive end had recently undergone surgery to repair a torn meniscus and was recovering from a knee injury during the offseason, which reportedly played a role in the failed medical evaluation.
With the trade now canceled, Crosby remains with the Raiders for the time being while the organization evaluates its next steps.
