Maxx Crosby Learns of Raiders-Ravens Trade En Route to Power Slap Event
Maxx Crosby, the talented NFL linebacker, learned of his recent trade from the Las Vegas Raiders to the Baltimore Ravens while on his way to a Power Slap event in Las Vegas. This revelation came straight from UFC CEO Dana White, who shared the details at a Zuffa boxing press conference.
Details of the Trade
While driving to the event, Crosby was notified of the trade via social media. Upon realizing the news, he promptly turned around and decided against attending Power Slap, stating, “I’m not going to Power Slap. I’m going to lay low for a few days.”
Crosby’s Future Plans
Despite the trade, White indicated that Crosby intends to remain in Las Vegas. “He loves this city,” White noted. Crosby recently paid off his house and expressed his commitment to the area, saying, “I’m not going anywhere.” However, he is also excited about joining the Ravens, particularly the potential of winning a Super Bowl.
Career Overview
Crosby has dedicated seven seasons to the Raiders, with a history that includes one season in Oakland and six in Las Vegas. He was selected in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft.
Trade Details
- The Ravens acquired Crosby in exchange for two first-round picks.
- Included is the No. 14 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
- The trade will become official when the new league year commences on Wednesday.
What Lies Ahead for Crosby
In the near future, Crosby will join a formidable Ravens defense featuring standout players like Kyle Hamilton, Roquan Smith, Nnamdi Madubuike, and Nate Wiggins. Their goal is to bounce back after last winter’s playoff miss and strive for greater success this coming season with the leadership of quarterback Lamar Jackson.
After the trade, Crosby took to social media to express his feelings, labeling himself “a Raider for life.” He emphasized his desire to eventually retire wearing a Raiders jersey. For now, however, his focus shifts to Baltimore and the upcoming challenges the team will face.
