Ravens Back Out of Maxx Crosby Trade Over Failed Physical

The reversal returns two first-round picks to Baltimore and forces Las Vegas to reassess Crosby’s future and its cap plans on the eve of the new league year.

Overview

  • The agreed deal would have sent Baltimore’s 2026 and 2027 first-round picks to Las Vegas for Crosby, but with the trade called off those selections revert to the Ravens.
  • Multiple outlets report Baltimore walked away after Crosby’s in-person medical evaluation, conducted as he recovers from a January meniscus repair in his left knee.
  • Crosby’s surgeon, Dr. Neal ElAttrache, and agent C.J. LaBoy say his rehab is on track, while specific findings from the failed physical remain private.
  • Crosby remains under contract with the Raiders through 2029 and carries a significant 2026 cap charge, complicating Las Vegas’ flurry of high-value free-agent agreements that now must fit under the cap at the start of the league year.
  • Reporting indicates Baltimore is expected to explore alternatives such as free agent Trey Hendrickson, and league interest in Crosby could persist, though his medical evaluation may temper offers compared with the Ravens’ two-pick package.
