Overview
- A proposed deal sending Crosby to the Ravens fell through after Baltimore cited issues in his physical, returning him to the Raiders after reports of a two–first‑round‑pick package.
- NFL insider Albert Breer says any move is likelier only once Crosby is back on the field and playing well, with a potential revisit closer to midseason or the trade deadline.
- Crosby said on his podcast that he is “where I’m supposed to be,” while acknowledging uncertainty, and his surgeon Neal ElAttrache has maintained his meniscus recovery is on schedule.
- Reaction has been mixed, with Davante Adams voicing support, Aaron Donald calling a return to a team that tried to trade you “a little awkward,” and Raiders minority owner Tom Brady declining to comment.
- Interest from other teams persists — including the Patriots, Bills, Cowboys, Seahawks and Bears — though analysts note Las Vegas is unlikely to see an immediate return matching the earlier reported price.
