Overview
- In March the Raiders agreed to a blockbuster trade that would have sent Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens but the deal was voided after the Ravens’ medical staff raised concerns about his repaired left knee.
- Crosby completed rehab from meniscus surgery and returned to full-team practice, with multiple reporters and analysts saying Wednesday that he looked healthy and energetic on the field.
- Cowboys owner Jerry Jones publicly said Dallas "did not walk away" from pursuing Crosby and indicated he would be willing to trade future draft assets to add a top pass rusher.
- Analysts and reporters say the market has cooled since the failed physical and that teams are now unlikely to offer two first-round picks, with starting trade conversations more likely to center on combinations such as a first and a third.
- The Raiders face a consequential choice that could reshape their roster long term while Crosby, who says the offseason drama has added motivation, seeks to prove his knee is not a limiting factor this season.
