The Las Vegas Raiders announced that the blockbuster trade sending star edge rusher Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens has been called off, claiming the Ravens backed out of the deal, in a statement shared on their social media accounts Tuesday (March 10).
”The Baltimore Ravens have backed out of our trade agreement for Maxx Crosby. We will have no further comment at this time,” the Raiders said.
The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports that the trade was called off because Crosby “did not pass his physical” on Tuesday and the Ravens will receive the two first-round picks (2026 and 2027) offered in the trade.
Crosby was placed on injured reserve with two games left in the 2026 NFL season and disgruntled about the decision, having left the building. The defensive end experienced the left knee injury on October 19, having still recorded 73 tackles, 28 tackles for loss and 10 sacks during an injury-shortened season, earning his fifth Pro Bowl selection.
Crosby and the Raiders agreed to a three-year, $106.5 million extension, which includes $91.5 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history at the time of signing, last offseason.
