Las Vegas Raiders <\/a>defensive end Maxx Crosby has lost out on the chance to play for a Super Bowl contender and millions of dollars.<\/p>\n On Tuesday,<\/a> the Baltimore Ravens<\/a> nixed a trade that would’ve sent 2026 and 2027 first-round picks to the Raiders for Crosby. He failed his physical because of a meniscus issue, which he underwent surgery for in January. The DE shared that<\/a> on Instagram before the trade. Had the deal gone through, the elite pass-rusher was reportedly in for a new contract that would have deepened his pockets.<\/p>\n The Athletic’s Dianna Russini shared on X Wednesday that the Ravens were preparing to sign five-time Pro Bowler Crosby to a revised contract that would’ve paid him near the top of the pass-rusher market.\u00a0<\/p>\n Crosby \u2014 who signed a three-year, $106.5M deal with the Raiders before the 2025 season \u2014 is already the sixth-highest-paid edge-rusher in the NFL. The highest-paid edge-rusher is Green Bay Packers DE Micah Parsons, who signed a four-year, $186M contract before the 2025 season. The revised deal for the Raiders star would be somewhere in that ballpark.\u00a0<\/p>\n Baltimore ultimately didn’t feel comfortable paying Crosby that much or spending two first-rounders, so it pivoted to another option. On Wednesday, the Ravens agreed to<\/a> a slightly cheaper deal with DE Trey Hendrickson (four years, $112M). The contract could reportedly be worth up to $120M.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nRavens reportedly planned to make Maxx Crosby contract move before cancelling trade<\/h2>\n
