Ravens Monitoring Trade for Maxx Crosby

The Baltimore Ravens are keeping close tabs on Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby, who could be available on the trade market this week.

The Ravens are one of seven teams reportedly interested in the five-time Pro Bowler, joining the Cowboys, Bears, Bills, Patriots, Eagles, and Rams in pursuit. Crosby, who is believed to want to join a winning program, could be a perfect fit for Baltimore as they look to bolster their pass rush.

Neither the player nor the Raiders have openly indicated a trade is likely, but the situation could develop organically as teams begin spending their cap budgets. The Raiders, holding the #1 overall pick, are in a significant rebuild phase, while the Ravens were close to making the postseason last year.
