The Baltimore Ravens have acquired star pass rusher Maxx Crosby in a major trade, sending two first-round draft picks to the Las Vegas Raiders to secure the deal, per @TomPelissero.
According to the report, the Dallas Cowboys also made a significant push to land Crosby, but Baltimore ultimately outbid them by offering the necessary draft capital. The move provides the Ravens with an elite edge defender as they look to strengthen their defensive front for the remainder of the season.
Crosby arrives in Baltimore following a highly productive tenure in Las Vegas. During the 2023 season, the three-time Pro Bowler recorded a career-high 14.5 sacks and led the NFL with 23 tackles for loss. Since entering the league in 2019, he has amassed 52 total sacks and has consistently been one of the league's most prolific defenders in terms of quarterback pressures.
The specific years of the first-round picks involved in the trade have not yet been disclosed. This transaction marks one of the most significant mid-season defensive acquisitions in Ravens franchise history.
