The Las Vegas Raiders agreed to a trade with the Baltimore Ravens on Friday evening, sending superstar defensive end Maxx Crosby in exchange for the No. 14 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and a first-rounder in 2027.
In the days since that deal, the Raiders have made a flurry of moves. They traded for Taron Johnson, traded away Geno Smith, and spent big money on a handful of free agents, like Tyler Linderbaum, Kwity Paye, Nakobe Dean and Quay Walker.
But on Tuesday, the Ravens stunningly pulled out of the trade. According to [NFL Network's Ian Rapoport](https://x.com/rapsheet/status/2031520145315639537?s=46&t=3pmNnvMDohD4wYxaBWPC6g), the Raiders made the following announcement just one night before the league year began, and the trade became official:
_**"The Baltimore Ravens have backed out of our trade agreement for Maxx Crosby. We will have no further comment at this time."**_
Ravens stunningly pull out of trade for Raiders Maxx Crosby at last second

As Rapoport also noted, all trades are contingent on players passing a physical examination. Considering Crosby is still recovering from a torn meniscus he suffered back in Week 3 of the 2025 NFL season, multiple reports have indicated that Crosby failed his physical, nullifying the trade.
