The Raiders reportedly were seeking two first-round picks for Crosby, similar to what the Dallas Cowboys received for Maxx Crosby, and, in the end, the Ravens were willing to pay the price. Baltimore is sending 2026 and 2027 first-rounders to Las Vegas in a blockbuster trade ahead of free agency.
Crosby signed a three-year, $109.5 million extension with the Raiders last March, which made him the highest-paid pass rusher in the league at the time.
Crosby spent his first seven seasons with the Raiders, where he earned five Pro Bowl nods and totaled 69.5 career sacks. In three of the last four years, Crosby has totaled double-digit sacks and made life difficult on opposing quarterbacks.
Now, the Raiders and Crosby start anew while headed in opposite directions. Las Vegas is rebuilding, where they're expected to draft quarterback Fernando Mendoza first overall, and they now have extra first-round pick in the next two NFL drafts.
