Maxx Crosby's medical hurdle derailed the Ravens' blockbuster trade plans, sources revealed. The All-Pro Raiders edge rusher, 27, had appeared ready to join Baltimore for a haul of two first-round picks, but physical exam results prompted the Ravens to walk away. This abrupt reversal leaves Las Vegas scrambling after already investing $287 million in free agency, including $81 million for center Tyler Linderbaum and $48 million for edge defender Kwity Paye.

Crosby's camp maintains optimism, with the star posting a heartfelt farewell video to Las Vegas and confirming his arrival in Baltimore. However, the Ravens' history of rescinding deals over physical findings—like 2018's Ryan Grant ankle issue—suggests little room for negotiation. With Baltimore's pass rush ranking 30th in sacks last season, the fallout could reshape their defensive strategy.
