Raiders Say Ravens Have Backed Out of Maxx Crosby Trade

Las Vegas, AP — The Las Vegas Raiders announced on Tuesday evening that the Baltimore Ravens have withdrawn from a proposed deal that would have sent star pass rusher Maxx Crosby to Maryland. The abrupt reversal ends, at least for now, any immediate prospect of the two-time Pro Bowl edge defender changing uniforms before the upcoming trade deadline.

Raiders officials confirmed the development in a brief statement released shortly before 9 p.m. EDT, offering no additional details on why negotiations collapsed or whether talks could resume at a later date. Crosby, who has spent his entire five-year career with the Raiders, remains under contract in Las Vegas and is considered one of the franchise’s cornerstone players.

The news comes amid heightened speculation about potential roster moves across the league, but the Raiders’ announcement makes clear that no agreement with Baltimore is forthcoming. Neither team has indicated whether other suitors have expressed interest in acquiring the 26-year-old defensive standout.
