Defensive end Maxx Crosby expressed his commitment to the Las Vegas Raiders a day after the proposed trade that was supposed to send him to the Baltimore Ravens was called off because he failed a physical.
The Ravens backed out of the trade Tuesday night after Crosby traveled to Baltimore for a physical. He was back working out at the Raiders’ team facility Wednesday and posted on social media that night in his first public comments since the deal fell through.
“Everything Happens For A Reason. Believe Nothing You Hear & Half Of What You See. Im A Raider. I’m Back,” Crosby wrote.
The relationship between Crosby and the Raiders had soured late last season, when the team shut him down against his wishes with two games to play to have surgery on his injured knee.
That led to the decision last week to trade him to Baltimore for two first-round picks, leading to Crosby posting an emotional goodbye video to Raiders fans after spending the past seven seasons with the franchise that selected him in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL draft.
