On Tuesday, the Las Vegas Raiders announced that the Baltimore Ravens have canceled the trade for DE Maxx Crosby.
Here is the statement from the Raiders:
“The Baltimore Ravens have backed out of our trade agreement for Maxx Crosby. We will have no further comment at this time.”
According to reports, the Ravens backed out of the deal that would have sent two first-round picks to Las Vegas due to medical concerns.
The 28-year-old Crosby, who had surgery on his meniscus in January, is still recovering from the surgery.
With Crosby out of the mix, the Ravens found their pass-rusher when they agreed to terms with former Bengals DE Trey Hendrickson, who, according to Adam Schefter, signed a four-year deal worth up to $120 million with the Ravens, which includes $60 million fully guaranteed and a $20 million signing bonus.
Last season, Hendrickson, due to injuries, had four sacks in seven games. However, from 2023 to 2024, the 31-year-old Hendrickson, who will get a chance to play the Bengals twice in 2026, accumulated 35 sacks.
According to ESPN, since 2021, Hendrickson ranks fourth in sacks (61).
This is probably the better outcome for the Ravens. They avoid giving up a lot of draft capital, and they still get their hands on an elite pass-rusher.
