Maxx Crosby Opens Up About Canceled Ravens Trade

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby discussed the details surrounding his recently canceled trade to the Baltimore Ravens during an episode of his podcast, "The Rush with Maxx Crosby". The trade, which ultimately did not materialize, resulted in Crosby remaining with the Raiders.

Crosby's Account of the Failed Trade

Crosby stated that he never met with Ravens general manager Eric DaCosta, even after traveling to Baltimore. He also described an interaction with Baltimore head coach Jesse Minter, noting that Minter's demeanor seemed "off" and he had a "blank face" during their handshake.

Crosby conveyed that the experience of waiting for the trade to clear was nerve-racking due to the various elements involved.

Baltimore's Subsequent Moves

Following the cancellation of the trade involving Crosby, the Ravens acquired free agent defensive end Trey Hendrickson. This move allowed Baltimore to avoid spending two first-round draft picks that would have been part of the trade for Crosby.

Fan Reaction and Anticipation

One Ravens fan gained social media attention for shaving his head in anticipation of Crosby joining the team. The fan's bet was invalidated when the trade was ultimately called off.

Crosby's Current Status with the Raiders

Maxx Crosby has expressed satisfaction with continuing his career in Las Vegas, as the Raiders organization undergoes a rebuilding phase. It remains unclear if the Raiders will attempt to trade Crosby in the future.
