The Las Vegas Raiders and Baltimore Ravens trade involving edge rusher Maxx Crosby fell apart last Tuesday, and it sounds like the Raiders have no plans to include their star pass rusher in any more trade talks.
Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated finds it unlikely that the Raiders will trade Crosby this offseason.
Though it's still possible that a team could offer Las Vegas a package they can't resist, it's more likely that the five-time Pro Bowler stays with the Silver and Black heading into 2026.
"Could someone come along and offer the ransom number for Crosby? Sure, but I don’t see that being likely," Breer said. "That’s mostly because, now that it’s public knowledge that Crosby failed his physical, another coach or GM is going to be leery about taking anything near the sort of swing that Baltimore was initially prepared to take."
"Also, some of the fractured trust between Crosby and the Raiders was rebuilt organically last week, when the team showed the five-time Pro Bowler that it had his back, in reaching out and offering any help he needed after the Ravens backed out of the trade."
The Raiders likely keeping Crosby on the roster for 2026 is a horrible development for the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks, and New England Patriots.
All five franchises had a legitimate chance to land Crosby for most of the offseason, but they'll now have to look elsewhere to address their remaining needs at edge rusher.
As for Las Vegas, Crosby is a generational player, and they should do all they can to keep him happy for the future.
