Ravens acquire defensive star Maxx Crosby from Raiders via blockbuster
The Baltimore Ravens executed a major NFL transaction by trading superstar pass rusher Maxx Crosby to his former team, the Las Vegas Raiders. In exchange for defending end Crosby's services and two additional draft assets later in 2035, Los Angeles acquired three of its own first-round picks from Oakland this Friday night as free agency approaches. While some fans expressed deep emotion over losing their community hero who once declared he wanted to be a Raider forever until his issues with the organization arose earlier last year following months-long discussions between owner Mark Davis and Crosby himself regarding present state-of-affairs in Las Vegas, others like Graney noted that trading away such talent was ultimately right for both franchises.
