Overview
- ESPN reporting Tuesday detailed that Baltimore consulted outside specialists and cited a degenerative knee concern before pulling out of a two–first-round-pick deal, with doctors agreeing Crosby could play in 2026 but raising durability doubts.
- Las Vegas is planning to proceed with Crosby as a core piece for now, and NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero says he has told teams he wants to stay, as he rehabs a January meniscus repair with clearance estimates around June or July.
- Teams including the Bears, Bills, Lions and Cowboys continue to check in, yet multiple outlets report reluctance to meet the Raiders’ high price after the failed physical.
- New details on Dallas’ push show offers that escalated to the No. 12 pick plus a second-rounder after an initial package built around No. 20 and DT Osa Odighizuwa, which still fell short of Baltimore’s two firsts and preceded Odighizuwa’s trade to the 49ers.
- The voided deal removed a mid–first-round asset the Raiders expected to use in April, and insiders now see any Crosby talks resurfacing closer to the in-season trade deadline if he plays well and Las Vegas’ outlook dims.
