Any thought of Maxx Crosby joining the Seattle Seahawks in a blockbuster move to bolster an already fearsome defensive line can be put to rest. On the plus side, Crosby won\u2019t be crossing over to any Seahawks rival in the NFC.<\/p>\n
ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter unleashed the big Friday night report that the Las Vegas Raiders have agreed to send the superstar pass rusher to the Baltimore Ravens for a pair of first-round picks.<\/p>\n
After yet another losing season, another head coaching change, and another dysfunctional year in Las Vegas, it was clear that Crosby\u2019s days with the Raiders were coming to an end. There were no shortage of suitors even at lat season\u2019s trade deadline, with the Seattle Seahawks heavily linked to Crosby\u2019s services. Obviously there was no chance Seattle was going to dip into the \u201ctrade two first-round picks\u201d well again, but evidently Mike Macdonald\u2019s former team was willing to take that big swing to address their shockingly moribund pass rush. This is the first time in Ravens history<\/a> that they\u2019ve ever traded a first-round pick for a player, and what an add to first-year head coach Jesse Minter\u2019s defense.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Bad luck to the Dallas Cowboys, who weren\u2019t willing to go that far to get Crosby, but maybe they can make a run at free agent Trey Hendrickson and not even have to give up a draft pick.<\/p>\n The Raiders now hold the No. 1 and No. 14 overall pick in this year\u2019s draft. They no longer hold Maxx Crosby, which also means the Seahawks won\u2019t be seeing him as an opponent unless it\u2019s Seattle vs. Baltimore in Super Bowl 61.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Any thought of Maxx Crosby joining the Seattle Seahawks in a blockbuster move to bolster an already fearsome…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":797500,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2081],"tags":[4191,117,257,7,393,6563,6,238,237,261,2635,5654,1503],"class_list":{"0":"post-797499","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-seattle-seahawks","8":"tag-adam-schefter","9":"tag-baltimore-ravens","10":"tag-dallas-cowboys","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-las-vegas-raiders","13":"tag-maxx-crosby","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-seahawks","16":"tag-seattle","17":"tag-seattle-seahawks","18":"tag-seattleseahawks","19":"tag-the-raiders","20":"tag-trey-hendrickson"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116185686492540382","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/797499","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=797499"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/797499\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/797500"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=797499"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=797499"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=797499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
