On Tuesday night, the Las Vegas Raiders announced one of the most shocking events in recent NFL history. In a post on social media, the team announced that the Baltimore Ravens backed out of a trade that would have sent pass rusher Maxx Crosby to Baltimore in exchange for two first-round picks.
This came after the 28-year-old failed his physical for the Ravens. Although the specific reason as to why Crosby failed his medical test was not shared, the five-time Pro Bowler underwent surgery to repair a significant meniscus tear in his left knee on January 7.
To compensate for this failed trade, the Ravens quickly moved forward and signed free-agent Trey Hendrickson. Hendrickson is swapping AFC North teams and leaving the Cincinnati Bengals, a team he was a part of for five seasons, including their Super Bowl LVI loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
Like Crosby, Hendrickson's 2025 season was also cut short due to injury. The former Bengals' star underwent core muscle surgery. In Week 6, Hendrickson was originally reported as suffering a back injury against the Green Bay Packers. This was later changed to a hip injury that forced him to miss Week 7 and return the following week against the New York Jets. Hendrickson went on to reaggravate the injury in the first half and was forced to leave the game and undergo core muscle surgery.
Here's how Maxx Crosby and Trey Hendrickson compare head-to-head in stats, contracts, injury history, and age.
