Agent says Maxx Crosby is ahead of schedule after Ravens trade saga

· 5 min read

Maxx Crosby has departed Baltimore with his feet up, and while there's some embarrassment about a failed physical, the standout pass rusher will have options. In a statement released moments ago, Crosby's agent says the Raiders star is ahead of schedule in his knee recovery after the Ravens backed out of a blockbuster trade following a failed physical.

The Ravens now have the No. 14 overall pick, a 2027 first-round pick back, and plenty of salary cap space after a failed Maxx Crosby physical canceled their trade with the Las Vegas Raiders. Crosby was in Baltimore on Tuesday, and the move would have sent two first-round picks (in 2026 and 2027) to the Raiders. Crosby recently had knee surgery in Las Vegas prior to the season, and he needed to pass a physical before the deal could be officially confirmed.

Crosby, a 2019 fourth-round pick by the Raiders, has developed into one of the best pass rushers in the league. In Crosby's seven seasons with the Silver & Black, the five-time Pro Bowler has recorded 69.5 sacks, 133 tackles for loss, 164 QB hits, and one interception in 110 career games.
