Maxx Crosby Recommits to Raiders as Trade Talks Stall

Suitors remain hesitant because medical uncertainty from his January knee surgery has not been resolved.

Overview

  • A March trade that would have sent Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens was voided after the Ravens cited concerns from his physical, returning him to the Las Vegas Raiders.
  • Crosby underwent meniscus surgery in January and has been rehabbing with the Raiders while participating in limited team activity as he works toward expected clearance around training camp.
  • The five-time Pro Bowler has publicly said he is recommitted to Las Vegas, telling reporters he is 'here and I want to be here' and calling the earlier trade episode 'water under the bridge.'
  • The market for top edge rushers tightened after the Myles Garrett trade, prompting fresh trade proposals for Crosby but also making rival teams cautious because of his medical history.
  • Las Vegas has signaled it will not 'sell low' and most league observers expect significant trade talks to wait until Crosby shows full-contact availability in camp or game-time durability during the season.
