Overview
- Maxx Crosby described a confusing visit to Baltimore, saying he waited hours without seeing GM Eric DeCosta and was later told team doctors had long‑term concerns about his knee.
- After voiding the agreed trade for two future first‑round picks due to medical results, Baltimore pivoted within about a day to sign free‑agent edge rusher Trey Hendrickson.
- Crosby underwent January meniscus surgery, with his agent citing surgeon Neal ElAttrache that recovery is on track, while a reported 'surgeon leak' raised flags about potential articular cartilage and bone stress.
- Ravens leadership drew sharp criticism from analysts and an anonymous GM, who questioned the timeline and suggested Baltimore has used failed physicals to exit deals.
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter and SI’s Albert Breer reported Crosby is now likely to remain in Las Vegas with lowered trade value, as interested teams such as the Bills, Cowboys and Seahawks reassess cost and risk.
