"In a blockbuster NFL move, the Baltimore Ravens have agreed to acquire star defensive end Maxx Crosby from the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for first-round draft picks in 2026 and 2027. In the franchise's 31-year history, the Ravens have never previously traded a first-round draft selection to acquire an established veteran player."
"Crosby arrives in Baltimore as one of the NFL's most productive pass rushers and is expected to significantly strengthen a defence that struggled to generate pressure last season. The Ravens recorded just 30 sacks in 2025, their lowest total in 15 years, and for the first time since the franchise's inaugural 1996 season no edge rusher managed more than 4.5 sacks."
"Over his seven-year career, Crosby has recorded four seasons with double-digit sack totals. Since entering the league in 2019, he has also produced 360 quarterback pressures."
The Baltimore Ravens made a historic trade to acquire defensive end Maxx Crosby from the Las Vegas Raiders, sending first-round draft picks in 2026 and 2027. This marks the first time in the franchise's 31-year history that the Ravens have traded first-round picks to acquire an established veteran. Crosby, 28, was highly sought after, with the Dallas Cowboys also competing for his services. The Ravens recorded only 30 sacks in 2025, their lowest total in 15 years, making Crosby's arrival critical for strengthening their defense. Over his seven-year career, Crosby has recorded four seasons with double-digit sacks and 360 quarterback pressures since 2019. The trade reflects Baltimore's urgency following an 8-9 season and the departure of head coach John Harbaugh.
