Ravens agree trade for Raiders star Maxx Crosby in blockbuster deal
The Baltimore Ravens have agreed a deal to acquire defensive end Maxx Crosby from the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for two future first-round draft picks.
Las Vegas will receive first-round selections in 2026 and 2027 as part of the agreement.
Reports in the United States confirmed the deal was finalised on Friday night.
Statement intent from Baltimore
Crosby has established himself as one of the NFL’s premier pass rushers during his tenure in Nevada.
The five-time Pro Bowl selection adds elite disruptive capability to the Ravens’ defensive front.
Securing the defensive end represents a significant ‘all-in’ move by the AFC North franchise as they chase a Super Bowl title.
Rebuild mode for Las Vegas
For the Raiders, trading their franchise cornerstone signals a clear shift towards a long-term rebuilding strategy.
The acquisition of significant draft capital provides the organisation with flexibility to overhaul their roster in coming seasons.
