Overview
- Tuesday’s ESPN reporting says Baltimore pulled out after Crosby’s physical due to long‑term knee durability concerns, with outside specialists including Cowboys doctor Dan Cooper consulted.
- Las Vegas and Baltimore had agreed to a swap for two future first‑round picks that hinged on Crosby passing his exam.
- Crosby had a meniscus repair on January 7, and his surgeon, Dr. Neal ElAttrache, says rehab is on schedule even as Baltimore’s concern focused on wear over future seasons rather than his 2026 availability.
- Dallas made multiple bids short of two first‑rounders, escalating from No. 20 and Osa Odighizuwa to packages built around the No. 12 pick, and is not reengaging now according to recent reports.
- Sources around the Raiders question whether medicals were the sole factor given Baltimore’s rapid pivot to sign Trey Hendrickson, while most analysts now point to the trade deadline as the next realistic window to reassess Crosby’s market.
