Overview
- Baltimore had agreed to send two first-round picks for Raiders star Maxx Crosby before voiding the trade after the team’s doctors raised concerns during his physical.
- The reversal drew sharp criticism from fans and some executives, with The Athletic reporting that certain league insiders suspected Baltimore acted in bad faith.
- DeCosta said he has ‘turned heel’ with fans and stated he continues to receive calls from general managers about trades, signaling that business is ongoing.
- After canceling the Crosby deal, the Ravens signed pass rusher Trey Hendrickson to a four-year, $112 million contract to address their edge need.
- During the 2026 NFL Draft, Baltimore traded up with the 49ers to select SMU tight end Matthew Hibner, which DeCosta pointed to as evidence that other teams will still work with him.
