Overview
- A March agreement to send Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens was voided after the Ravens flagged degenerative knee concerns during his physical and Crosby was returned to the Las Vegas Raiders.
- Crosby has rejoined team activities, has taken part in OTAs and warm-ups, and multiple reports say he is progressing from meniscus surgery and should be ready by training camp.
- The player has publicly said he wants to stay in Las Vegas while also responding angrily to critics about the failed Baltimore deal, underscoring tense public reactions but a stated intent to remain a Raider.
- Contending teams including the Cowboys, 49ers, Lions and others are repeatedly linked to Crosby, with owners and analysts cautioning that clubs will demand in-person medical evidence or full-contact play before offering major draft compensation.
- Crosby’s multi-year extension, significant guarantees and a roughly $35.7 million 2026 cap hit give the Raiders leverage and create trade friction that makes an in-season, deadline-time deal the most plausible path for a blockbuster move.
