Overview
- Las Vegas said Baltimore backed out of the agreed deal for Maxx Crosby, and multiple reports attributed the reversal to the pass rusher not passing an in-person physical at the Ravens’ facility.
- Ravens GM Eric DeCosta said he was “gutted” by the collapse and Baltimore moved to fill its edge void by agreeing to a four-year deal with Trey Hendrickson reportedly worth up to $120 million with $60 million guaranteed.
- Crosby’s surgeon, Dr. Neal El Attrache, and agent CJ LaBoy said his recovery from a repaired meniscus is progressing on schedule, noting a repair carries a multi‑month timeline.
- Crosby’s return puts a reported $35.7 million 2026 cap charge back on the Raiders’ books; teams called to inquire, and ProFootballTalk reported Las Vegas is now telling clubs he will not be traded.
- Executives and agents quoted by CBS Sports questioned Baltimore’s withdrawal, reflecting broader uncertainty over medical evaluations and reshaping the market for elite pass rushers.
