The news of the Baltimore Ravens<\/a> backing out of the trade for Maxx Crosby shocked the NFL world. It has now been revealed that the club was concerned about the pass rusher\u2019s durability, which is why the front office decided not to proceed with the move.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that the Ravens flagged concerns regarding Crosby<\/a>\u2018s long-term health during his physical. Unfortunately, the team\u2019s medical staff identified an issue they believe could impact his performance in the coming years.<\/p>\n

According to Ryan McFadden of ESPN, the Ravens declined the trade because: \u201cThe consensus was that Crosby would be able to play in 2026. The Ravens\u2019 concern centered on the uncertainty of Crosby\u2019s durability after a couple of seasons in Baltimore because of a degenerative issue in his knee, a source told ESPN.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maxx Crosby\u2019s camp disputes the report<\/p>\n

When the Ravens confirmed that the physical did not meet their expectations, many questioned whether the star defender was healthy enough to compete.<\/p>\n

In response, Maxx Crosby\u2019s camp has pushed back against these rumors. He received public support from his surgeon<\/a>, Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who stated that the player is fully healthy and ahead of schedule in his recovery from January meniscus surgery.<\/p>\n

Crosby himself has addressed the failed trade<\/a>, suggesting that \u201cconspiracy theories\u201d are being created about the situation. However, it appears the Ravens remained firm in their belief that he might not remain healthy beyond the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Is Maxx Crosby staying with the Raiders?<\/p>\n

Yes, Maxx Crosby is set to remain with the Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> for the 2026 season. The club has not reopened trade discussions for the pass rusher, and the front office appears comfortable keeping him on the roster.<\/p>\n

If Crosby delivers a dominant performance in the upcoming campaign and remains injury-free, he will prove the Ravens wrong. However, any recurring health issues would validate Baltimore\u2019s decision to walk away from the blockbuster deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The news of the Baltimore Ravens backing out of the trade for Maxx Crosby shocked the NFL world.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":798441,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2052],"tags":[184,117,2282,7,393,6563,6,169],"class_list":{"0":"post-832650","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-baltimore-ravens","8":"tag-baltimore","9":"tag-baltimore-ravens","10":"tag-baltimoreravens","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-las-vegas-raiders","13":"tag-maxx-crosby","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-ravens"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116288791332306771","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/832650","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=832650"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/832650\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/798441"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=832650"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=832650"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=832650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
