Raiders trade Maxx Crosby to the Ravens for two first-round draft picks

The Maxx Crosby to Philadelphia speculation is officially dead and the Ravens are the ones who got him.

Adam Schefter reported Friday that Las Vegas agreed to send Crosby to Baltimore in exchange for the Ravens’ 14th overall pick in next month’s draft and another first-round pick in 2027.

The trade cannot be processed until the new league year opens next week but both sides have agreed to the terms. The Ravens landed one of the best pass rushers in football for what amounts to a discount given the asking price that had been circulating in the weeks before the deal came together.

Crosby is a five-time Pro Bowler who has spent his entire career in Las Vegas, remaining loyal through years of losing on a Raiders team that was clearly not building toward anything.

Mark Davis reportedly wanted to send him somewhere that gave him a real shot at competing and Baltimore checks that box.

Maxx Crosby projects as the exact kind of player the Ravens defense is built around and his arrival should immediately revitalize a Baltimore front that took a step back last season.

For Las Vegas, this is a full reset. They cut Geno Smith hours before the Crosby news broke. They now own both the first overall pick and the 14th pick in the upcoming draft with additional first-round capital coming in 2027.

That is an enormous haul to rebuild around and the Raiders clearly decided that moving on from their best player was the right call for the direction they are heading.

The NFL offseason is very much alive.
