The Las Vegas Raiders have agreed to trade five-time Pro-Bowl defensive end Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens, according to reports from Adam Schefter of ESPN. In exchange for the elite pass rusher, the Raiders will receive first-round draft picks in both 2026 and 2027.
While the agreement is firmly in place, the trade cannot be officially processed by the league until next week. Crosby, who has established himself as one of the premier defensive players in the NFL, joins a Baltimore Ravens squad looking to solidify its defensive front for a deep postseason run. The Raiders, meanwhile, pivot toward a future rebuild by acquiring significant draft capital over the next two seasons.
During his tenure in Las Vegas, Crosby became a perennial defensive player of the year candidate and the face of the franchise's defense. This move marks a massive shakeup for both organizations. Per Schefter, the deal is expected to be finalized as soon as the league's processing window opens next week.
