In the biggest trade in franchise history, the Baltimore Ravens are acquiring five-time Pro Bowl defensive end Maxx Crosby from the Las Vegas Raiders for first-round picks in 2026 and 2027, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Friday night.
The deal is contingent on Crosby passing a physical, which can’t occur until the start of the new league year Wednesday.
This marks the first time in the Ravens’ 31-year existence that they’ve used a first-round pick to trade for a veteran player. Baltimore had the No. 14 pick in this year’s draft.
Among the teams the Ravens beat out for Crosby were the Dallas Cowboys, who were willing to offer a first- and a second-round pick for the star pass rusher, sources told Schefter.
