The NFL world was rocked on Tuesday night when it was reported that the Baltimore Ravens backed out of the trade with the Las Vegas Raiders for Maxx Crosby. Due to medicals, the Ravens weren’t comfortable with the result.
Now, Crosby goes back to Las Vegas and the Ravens get their two first-round picks back. The Ravens then signed Trey Hendrickson on Wednesday morning, drawing some negative responses from people around the league.
But the biggest part of this story is that Crosby is now available and back on the market.
The Chicago Bears were among the teams rumored to be involved originally in the Crosby sweepstakes. They could get back in depending on the price for him. But early reports suggest the Raiders aren’t backing off their asking price.
Las Vegas Raiders’ asking price for Maxx Crosby remains the same?
Just hours after the Ravens backed out, the NFL world was buzzing with reports of what could happen next. Crosby reportedly showed up to Raiders’ headquarters for his rehab and there’s a chance the team can keep him this season as they still have enough cap space to do so. But if a trade were to happen, it sounds like the Raiders are asking for the same return as Baltimore gave them.
Per Dianna Russini, teams that are interested in Maxx Crosby believe the Raiders aren’t going to come off their asking price of two first-round picks at this time.

The price is a steep one to pay, especially for a team like the Bears. However, they do have a need for a pass rusher and with some restructures they could make it happen.
For now, Crosby is back with the Raiders but I imagine the talks will pick up especially if they eventually go down with the price. It’s something to monitor moving forward.
