Of course, anything can happen, though, and there are still rumblings that Crosby may be available for teams, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DrMJPW2tlbw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">including the Cowboys<\/a>, when the season approaches.<\/p>\n<p>Crosby\u2019s <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/\" title=\"NFL\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"198040\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NFL<\/a> offseason has been anything but easy. On March 6, the Las Vegas Raiders worked out a trade deal with the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"Baltimore Ravens\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/baltimore-ravens\/\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"182121\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Baltimore Ravens<\/a> to send Crosby there in exchange for two first-round picks. But, on March 10, that negotiation fell through after Crosby failed his physical, and the Ravens instead signed <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"Trey Hendrickson\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/trey-hendrickson\/\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"193804\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trey Hendrickson<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Crosby <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/detroit-lions\/maxx-crosby-announces-his-team\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">has announced that he\u2019s officially back with the Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> for the 2026-27 season. At least, it appears Crosby is back in Las Vegas for the time being. Since he\u2019s the one who wanted to leave, it says a lot that he wants to be back there now, and it may shed light into if the Cowboys could ever get him.<\/p>\n<p>Maxx Crosby May Not Be Available Anymore, As His Relationship With the Raiders is Better, Expert Says<\/p>\n<p>ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter says that the Raiders\u2019 free agency moves and new coaching staff appear to be making the defensive end want to stay in Las Vegas. He says that Crosby wanted out, but that\u2019s changed, both due to the moves the Raiders are making and also because of his failed physical.<\/p>\n<p>Discussing the Crosby situation, <a id=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/2034227537069461570\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/2034227537069461570\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external nofollow\">Schefter said on Wednesday, March 18<\/a>, \u201cIf you\u2019re Maxx Crosby and you\u2019re the Raider you say you are, and he is, why do you want to leave that now when the Raiders are putting together some parts that make it more encouraging and give you more optimism than you had about that team in recent memory?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schefter also said that the Raiders didn\u2019t want to trade Crosby. It was something he wanted. Plus, now that he has more health issues and likely won\u2019t get two first-round picks, there\u2019s an even bigger reason for the Raiders to want to keep him.<\/p>\n<p>Maxx Crosby \u2018Wanted to Move On\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was the one who wanted to move on. Then he got traded, and it didn\u2019t work out, and now he\u2019s back,\u201d Schefter stated. \u201cIf the Raiders are going to trade him today, I think his value would be 80 cents on a dollar. All of the factors out there make it less likely that Maxx Crosby will be traded, and most importantly, we have Maxx Crosby confessing his love to the Raiders and saying that he wants to be back there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for medical concerns, on <a href=\"https:\/\/lionswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/lions\/2026\/03\/16\/maxx-crosby-surgeon-ravens-physical\/89159348007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Monday, March 16 for USA Today\u2019s <\/a><a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"Lions\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/detroit-lions\/\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"194661\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lions<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/lionswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/lions\/2026\/03\/16\/maxx-crosby-surgeon-ravens-physical\/89159348007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Wire<\/a>, Jimmy Liao, MD, reported that Crosby\u2019s \u201csurgeon leak\u201d may be a key reason the Ravens deal didn\u2019t go through.<\/p>\n<p>He quotes Crosby\u2019s doctor\u2019s report, stating \u201c\u2026a significant meniscus tear and the related stress injury to the bone and cartilage in his knee.\u201d With these new findings, he notes it \u201cwill become much more difficult for the Raiders to find a trade partner willing to part with premium draft picks and pay a high salary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/author\/aericksonsports\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Anne Erickson<\/strong><\/a> is an award-winning reporter for Heavy Sports covering the NFL, NBA and college football.
