Ravens nix Crosby deal over knee durability concerns, ESPN reports

ESPN reports the Ravens canceled a potential two-first-round-picks trade for Maxx Crosby after Crosby’s knee MRI raised durability questions, despite a general belief he could play in 2026; outside doctors weighed in, with the consensus that Crosby’s knee status created too much uncertainty, prompting the deal’s collapse. The piece notes Cowboys’ contemplation of a bid that didn’t materialize, Crosby’s disputed visit timeline, ESPN’s low free-agent ranking for Baltimore, potential WR targets, no fresh news on David Njoku, and a view that the Ravens remain playoff contenders in 2026.
