Raiders trade Maxx Crosby to Ravens in blockbuster
- On March 6, 2026, the Las Vegas Raiders traded five-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens for two first-round picks, including the No. overall pick, AP sources said.
- Baltimore, led by first-year coach Jesse Minter and quarterback Lamar Jackson, pursued Crosby to upgrade a weak pass rush while Raiders GM John Spytek acknowledged they would listen to offers, driven by Crosby's frustration after being held out of the final two games last year.
- On the health and contract front, Crosby had 10 sacks, 73 tackles and 28 tackles for loss in 2025 while rehabbing left knee surgery; his deal runs through 2029 with a $35.8 million cap hit in 2026 and a $29 million 2027 base-salary trigger.
- The Ravens gain a significant boost to their pass rush that finished tied for 29th with 30 sacks last year, while the Raiders can address multiple roster needs with draft assets.
- Looking toward the draft, the trade reshapes the market for elite edge rushers as multiple teams, including the Patriots, Cowboys, and Bears, had interest, with Ravens GM Eric DeCosta aggressively prioritizing Crosby, offering sizable packages.
