Maxx Crosby Traded to Ravens in Blockbuster Deal

The Las Vegas Raiders have traded star pass rusher Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens as part of their rebuilding effort. Baltimore adds an elite defensive playmaker while Las Vegas gains valuable draft picks for the future.

Ravens Strengthen Defense With Maxx Crosby

The Las Vegas Raiders are entering a new era as they begin a full rebuild following a disappointing 3–14 season. The team parted ways with head coach Pete Carroll and hired Klint Kubiak to lead the franchise into the upcoming season. With the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Las Vegas is widely expected to target a quarterback, with Fernando Mendoza emerging as a potential option.

The Raiders have now made another major move, trading star pass rusher Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens. In return, Las Vegas receives first-round picks in 2026 and 2027, giving the franchise additional draft capital as it continues its rebuilding process. Meanwhile, the Ravens add one of the league’s most disruptive defensive players, significantly strengthening their pass rush heading into the new season.
