Overview
- The proposed trade that would have sent Crosby to Baltimore was voided after the acquiring team’s medical review flagged concerns, and Crosby remains on the Raiders’ roster.
- Reporters this week emphasized that Crosby has been cleared to practice and has publicly said he is committed to the Raiders.
- Some NFL insiders say a midseason deal is plausible if the Raiders falter because Las Vegas already showed willingness to trade him for large draft compensation.
- Other analysts and a Cowboys insider argued a move to Dallas is unlikely in the near term, noting that any trade would require both buyer appetite and the Raiders’ willingness to part with the player.
- Crosby’s recent production, including a double-digit sack season and high pressure totals, keeps him in strong demand but the surgically repaired knee remains the central factor teams must weigh.
