The Baltimore Ravens have acquired star defensive end Maxx Crosby from the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for two first-round draft picks, per @AdamSchefter.
The Dallas Cowboys were also aggressive in their pursuit of the elite pass rusher. According to the report, Dallas was willing to offer a package consisting of a first-round and a second-round pick to Las Vegas, but the Raiders opted for the more substantial offer of two first-rounders from the Ravens.
Crosby, a three-time Pro Bowler known for his relentless motor and high sack production, becomes a massive addition to the Baltimore defense. The Las Vegas Raiders had previously indicated a reluctance to move their star player, but the package of two future first-round selections was ultimately enough to facilitate the blockbuster deal. This move significantly shifts the landscape of the AFC as the Ravens solidify their defensive front for a deep postseason run.
