Maxx Crosby Details Ravens Trade Collapse, Reaffirms Commitment to Raiders

On his podcast, the All-Pro said Baltimore cited knee concerns during his physical, with his surgeon maintaining he is ahead of schedule.

Overview

  • Crosby described a five-hour wait to see Ravens GM Eric DeCosta, an 'off' vibe in meetings, and being told some team doctors were concerned about his knee’s long‑term outlook.
  • Reports say Las Vegas had agreed to a package that included two first-round picks before Baltimore withdrew, with DeCosta later attributing the reversal to a medical assessment.
  • He said he felt 'terrified' and later 'livid and confused' before surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache reassured him his meniscus repair is progressing well and that he is ahead of schedule.
  • Within roughly a day of backing out, Baltimore reached a four-year, $112 million deal with edge rusher Trey Hendrickson, filling the pass-rush need the team sought to address.
  • Back in Las Vegas, Crosby declared he is 'meant to be a Raider' and resumed rehab as the club integrates recent additions such as Tyler Linderbaum, Kwity Paye, Nakobe Dean and Quay Walker, while reporting indicates his near-term trade market has cooled with teams like the Bears monitoring.
