Maxx Crosby is back with the Las Vegas Raiders and he’s apparently there to stay.
NBC Sports’ Mike Florio reports the team has informed interested parties that it doesn’t intend to deal the five-time Pro Bowl EDGE rusher after his trade to the Baltimore Ravens collapsed on Tuesday.
The Raiders announced that the Ravens had backed out of the deal that was to send the 14th overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft and a 2027 first-round pick to Vegas after there were concerns with Crosby’s medical. The 28-year-old Eastern Michigan product underwent meniscus surgery in January.
Earlier on Thursday, Crosby made his first comments since the deal in a social media post.

Posting a GIF of The Undertaker emerging from a flaming casket, he captioned it with “Everything happens for a reason. Believe nothing you hear and half of what you see. I’m a Raider. I’m back. Run that s---.”
Originally taken with the 106th overall selection of the 2019 NFL Draft, Crosby has spent the entirety of his seven-year career with the Raiders. In 110 games, Crosby has recorded 439 tackles, 11 forced fumbles and 69.5 sacks.
Crosby is under contract for four more seasons. He will play for $30 million in 2026 before a three-year, $106.5 million extension signed last year kicks in.
