Overview
- A late‑season proposed trade to send Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens collapsed and Crosby has publicly said the episode is behind him and that he intends to remain a Raider.
- Crosby had meniscus surgery in January and is in an extended rehab program that leaves his readiness for training camp uncertain but expected by the start of the regular season.
- During Crosby’s recovery the Raiders hired Klint Kubiak as head coach and added several defensive players including Quay Walker, Nakobe Dean and Kwity Paye.
- The Raiders also upgraded their offense with center Tyler Linderbaum and drafted quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who is listed behind starter Kirk Cousins on the post‑draft depth chart.
- Separately, Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett skipped voluntary offseason work while seeking a new contract but is reported to plan to attend mandatory minicamp with on‑field participation still unclear and a potential fine of about $107,911 for an unexcused absence.
