The blockbuster trade that would have sent **Las Vegas Raiders** star edge rusher **Maxx Crosby** to the **Baltimore Ravens** has been officially called off, according to a statement from the Raiders organization.
The deal, which reportedly involved the Ravens sending 2026 and 2027 first-round draft picks to Las Vegas, collapsed after **Crosby** failed his mandatory physical on Tuesday. According to reports from **Dianna Russini** of The Athletic, the transaction is now void, and the Ravens will retain their draft capital while **Crosby** remains on the Raiders' roster.
Sources indicate that the physical revealed concerns regarding a lingering knee issue. **Crosby** underwent surgery to repair a meniscus injury in January and had been working toward a return for the 2026 season. While the three-time All-Pro was spotted in Baltimore earlier this week, the Ravens' medical staff ultimately did not clear him to finalize the trade. The agreement was strictly contingent upon a passed physical examination, a standard requirement for all NFL player movement.
**Crosby** has been the cornerstone of the Raiders' defense for years, recording 10 sacks and 28 tackles for loss last season despite playing through significant pain. The 28-year-old defender had been the subject of intense trade rumors throughout the offseason, but he will now return to Henderson as the Raiders continue their rebuilding phase. The Ravens must now look elsewhere to bolster their pass rush before the start of the new league year.
