The NFL world was left speechless on Sunday night with news that the Ravens have backed out of the blockbuster trade with the Las Vegas Raiders that would have sent star edge rusher to Baltimore in exchange for two-first round picks.
“The Baltimore Ravens have backed out of our trade agreement for Maxx Crosby. We have no further comment at this time,” the Raiders said in a statement.
The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports that the trade fell apart because Crosby did not pass his physical.
So with that, it might have given the New England Patriots prime leverage in landing the edge rusher for an even lower price.
Maxx Crosby Said Goodbye To The Raiders
On Monday, March 9, Crosby shared a photo of himself in a Ravens jersey with the caption, “RAVENS FLOCK…. ITS TIME. 🐦⬛.”
And with that, he also released a heartfelt statement, thanking the Raiders.
“Raider Nation has given me everything,” Crosby said. “My family, had the chance to get married, have the most beautiful daughter in the world, grow as a man, as a player, as a leader, a human being. One thing I could say is above all else is that I gave you everything I got and I have no regrets about that. I put everything into trying to win as a Raider.”
