NFL news: Maxx Crosby declares he’s staying with Raiders after failed trade

Maxx Crosby has made it clear he isn’t going anywhere.

The Las Vegas Raiders agreed to trade Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens for two first-round picks last week, but the Ravens backed out of the deal on Tuesday, citing a failed physical.

Crosby, 28, reacted to the scrapped trade on social media Wednesday night to declare he isn’t going anywhere.

“Everything happens for a reason. Believe nothing you hear & half of what you see. I’m a Raider. I’m back. Run that s—,” Crosby posted to X.

Crosby had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in January. After the Ravens cited Crosby’s failed physical as the reason for the trade falling through, the star defender retweeted his agent’s tweet about the current status of his knee.

“Maxx continues to be on track in his recovery and if anything is ahead of schedule, according to his surgeon Dr. Neal El Attrache. Maxx remains on track to return during the offseason program & will undoubtedly return as the dominant game wrecker he has been these past 7 seasons,” Crosby’s agent CJ LaBoy posted to X.

The Ravens quickly pivoted after the Crosby deal fell through, signing former Cincinnati Bengals star Trey Hendrickson to a four-year, $112 million contract, with $60 million guaranteed.

Last season, in 15 games, Crosby recorded 73 tackles, 10 sacks and two forced fumbles. His sack numbers are particularly impressive because the team was losing so often that Crosby wasn’t afforded the same number of opportunities to rush the quarterback compared to defenders on better teams.

Crosby made his fifth career Pro Bowl last season.
