It was just months ago when Maxx Crosby thought that he was going to be with the Baltimore Ravens, and then everything switched. After the Las Vegas Raiders sent Crosby to the Ravens, Baltimore walked back on the trade when they reportedly didn’t like what they saw from the defensive end’s medicals.
That led Crosby back to the Raiders days later, and looking at it now, he wouldn’t want it any other way. In fact, he felt something was wrong when the trade initially happened.
“God’s blessed me in a lot of different ways. I got my flaws. I got my strengths,” Crosby said via Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. “One thing is, I feel like my intuition, I can read a room and I understand people and energy and vibes. That’s something I could pick up real fast. And I just felt like in that situation, it didn’t feel right when it was happening. And it has nothing to do with or against them at that time. Like, it was what it was, how that whole situation went down. It felt like the world was telling me I’m not leaving, even when I was in the Baltimore city limits. Just being 100% honest.
“I couldn’t look at a TV without seeing, Raiders are having the best offseason, signing these people ... I’m like, Why is this happening? My phone’s blowing up—Oh my God, now they want to sign players. And I’m laughing. I’m like, Stop talking to me about that s—.”
The Raiders now have one of the best pass rushers on the team, plus other additions from free agency that will help him on defense.
Though there’s still a chance that Crosby could get traded at any time, right now, he’s right where he wants to be.
