Maxx Crosby trade winners, losers. How much does Lamar Jackson benefit?
USA TODAY
Before NFL free agency began, the Baltimore Ravens acquired Maxx Crosby from the Las Vegas Raiders for two first-round draft picks.
It has been a week of trades in the NFL – and a Friday night blockbuster became a delectable appetizer with free agency beginning, officially, Wednesday, March 11.
The Las Vegas Raiders traded edge rusher Maxx Crosby, no stranger to the subject of trade rumors over the years, to the Baltimore Ravens for a package that included two first-round picks, according to multiple reports. The deal cannot be formally completed until the new league year at 4:00 p.m. ET (to be exact) on the 11th, but it is in place.
As is the case in a trade of this magnitude, there are winners and losers.
All of the reporting from the end of last season indicated Crosby and the Raiders were headed for a divorce. FOX Sports said Crosby left the building when broached with the idea of being shut down for the final two games of the season as Vegas sought the No. 1 pick (which they “earned”). Crosby, 28, had minor surgery to repair his meniscus in January.
Now Crosby has a fresh start on the opposite coast looking to revive a brand built around violent defense – certainly fitting Crosby’s own play style. Injuries have held Crosby back statistically during the past two seasons, but he managed 10 sacks a year ago, and 2024 was the first season he ever missed games.
