Crosby Remains with Raiders After Trade Fails

Maxx Crosby, a five-time Pro Bowl edge rusher, will remain with the Las Vegas Raiders for the 2026 NFL season after a trade sending him to the Baltimore Ravens collapsed on March 12, 2026. The proposed trade, which had been agreed upon by both teams, fell through due to medical concerns raised by the Ravens regarding Crosby's knee injury. Crosby confirmed his commitment to the Raiders via a social media post, stating, "I'm A Raider. I'm Back."

Crosby's potential departure stemmed from reported discontent with the Raiders' management of his knee injury, which led to him missing the final two games of the previous season for a meniscus trim. Despite earlier indications of a trade, including a now-deleted farewell video from Crosby, the failed transaction means he will continue with the Raiders. The team has recently acquired several key players, including center Tyler Linderbaum and defensive additions Taron Johnson, Kwity Paye, Quay Walker, and Nakobe Dean, as part of its rebuilding efforts.
