Maxx Crosby shares his perspective on the failed trade that would have sent him to the Baltimore Ravens, describing the confusing and emotional events that unfolded during his physical and the subsequent breakdown of the deal. He recounts the unusual atmosphere, medical concerns raised by the Ravens, and the eventual decision to call off the trade, ultimately reaffirming his commitment to the Las Vegas Raiders.
Maxx Crosby detailed what went down through his eyes as he went from on the verge of being a Raven toafter the chaotic turn of events that saw Baltimore back out of a deal to acquire the star edge rusher.
and the ensuing fallout after the trade fell apart made waves last week, and on the first episode of “The Rush with Maxx Crosby,” he addressed from his vantage point how it all happened. “I’ve gone through some s–t in my life, I can’t lie, but that whole situation was probably one of the most unique, crazy, wild, up-and-down roller coasters I’ve ever been a part of,” he said on the show released Tuesday. Crosby, 28, flew into Washington, D.C. last Monday before driving another two hours to Baltimore from there and then reported to the Ravens facility on March 10 for his physical.

Crosby said “the energy was off,” and when he dapped up Minter, the Ravens coach “had a blank face.” “I’m like, ‘OK.’ I’m not thinking anything of it. Maybe he’s just different. I don’t know him, whatever,” Crosby said. That’s when, Crosby said, the Ravens broke the news that one of the team’s doctors had “concerns” about the results of his physical and “some of them are concerned about the future.” Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby reacts as he takes the field to face the Denver Broncos at Allegiant Stadium on Dec. 7, 2025, in Las Vegas.He was told that the team would get more opinions and get back to him with their decision, which terrified the football star. “ calmed me way down. He’s like Maxx, don’t listen to any of that s–t,” Crosby said. “He’s like, ‘Your knee is great. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be or even ahead of schedule.’ He’s like, ‘You’re doing everything right. They know you had your surgery nine weeks ago.’ “He’s showing me the actual literal literature of, like, ‘This is where the knee is supposed to be at from a meniscus repair. MRIs could be misleading because it’s still fresh in surgery and this and that.’ He’s like, ‘Listen, you’re doing everything right. Everything’s going well. We’re going to keep sticking to the plan.’ He’s like, ‘You will be back by training camp.’” Crosby said that while he was waiting for the Ravens to make a decision, he received a call from a team employee who had told him that Vegas and Baltimore were trying to work out the deal.

I’m like, ‘What the f–k,” Crosby said. “I’m f–king livid, confused, the whole nine all in one. And so I told , ‘I’m trying to get out of here.’”The whole ordeal has reaffirmed his commitment to the Raiders.“I wasn’t supposed to be in Baltimore and that’s it. You know what I mean? I’m meant to be a Raider. It’s through my damn core. That’s it,” he said. “I’m in this s–t for life. Until that changes — which I don’t foresee. Honestly, you never know in this damn league. I found that out for sure. I just feel like I’m meant to be a Raider.”Stream It Or Skip It: 'That Night' On Netflix, Where Sisters Cover For Each Other When One Of Them Runs Over Someone While On Vacation
