Instead, he remained with the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this offseason when the Ravens backed out of an agreed-upon trade, citing concerns with Crosby's physical. It's created an odd situation, one in which no one is quite sure what'll happen next with Crosby. Crosby and the Raiders are saying all the right things about him staying put, but it's easy to imagine that a trade could still be coming at some point.
ESPN's Bill Barnwell , in a new article on Monday, predicts that it could be the Philadelphia Eagles who make the deal. He proposes a 3-for-1 setup that includes a couple draft picks: Eagles get: Edge Maxx Crosby Raiders get: 1-23, 2027 third-round pick, Edge Nolan Smith Jr. "While Crosby is saying that he wants to move forward with the only pro organization he has ever known after his trade to the Ravens fell through, the same logic that led the Raiders to initially deal Crosby to Baltimore still holds," Barnwell writes.
"Vegas doesn't appear to be close to seriously contending. Crosby turns 29 in August. He wants to win, ideally sooner rather than later.
