Raiders trade Maxx Crosby to Ravens in blockbuster
USA TODAY
The Raiders have agreed to trade Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens, per reports. Here's what it took for Vegas to move the star defender.
Apparently what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas – at least when it comes to Maxx Crosby.
The Las Vegas Raiders agreed to trade Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens, per multiple reports. Vegas will acquire 2026 and 2027 first-round NFL draft picks from Baltimore in exchange for the star pass-rusher, ESPN reports.
The deal cannot become official until the new league year on Wednesday, March 11 at 4 p.m. ET.
It comes just one year after Crosby inked a a three-year, $106.5 million extension to extend his stay in Sin City. Loyalty was never a question for the Eastern Michigan product, who endured plenty of losing with the Raiders from Oakland to Vegas and just one playoff game in seven seasons.
From Baltimore's side, acquiring the star pass rusher is a major opening statement for new head coach Jesse Minter. Minter, who coached against Crosby in 2024 and 2025 as the Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator, is entering his first season with the Ravens in 2026.
