Maxx Crosby Shut Down Rams Trade Interest and Stayed With the Raiders

Crosby’s decision to block further moves preserved Las Vegas’s top pass rusher and reshaped how rival teams spent the offseason.

Overview

  • A previously agreed trade that would have sent Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens collapsed after Baltimore raised medical concerns about his surgically repaired meniscus.
  • After the Ravens reversal, the Los Angeles Rams emerged as the strongest suitor but Crosby told Raiders leaders and interested clubs he did not want to be traded, according to NFL Network and ESPN reporting.
  • The Rams subsequently pivoted and completed a blockbuster trade for Myles Garrett, changing the defensive plans for Los Angeles this summer.
  • Crosby was medically cleared, publicly reaffirmed his commitment to Las Vegas and opened the 2026 season on Sunday with 1.5 sacks and his 71st career sack in the Raiders’ Week 1 win.
  • Multiple teams monitored Crosby after the failed Baltimore deal and interest could resurface before the NFL trade deadline, but there is no active trade pending at this time.
