Maxx Crosby has made it clear he’s not going anywhere.
The Las Vegas Raiders agreed to trade Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens for two first-round picks last week, but the Ravens backed out of the deal Tuesday, citing physical failure.
Crosby, 28, reacted to the scrapped trade on social media Wednesday night to say he’s not going anywhere.

“Everything happens for a reason. Believe nothing you hear and half of what you see. I’m a Raider. I’m back. Run that shit,” Crosby posted on X.
Crosby underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in January. After the Ravens cited Crosby’s physical failure as the reason the trade fell through, the star defender retweeted his agent’s tweet about the current state of his knee.

“Maxx continues to be on track in his recovery and if anything is ahead of schedule, according to his surgeon, Dr. Neal El Attrache. Maxx remains on track to return during the offseason program and will undoubtedly return as the dominant game destroyer he has been the past 7 seasons,” Crosby’s agent, CJ LaBoy, posted on X.
The Ravens quickly pivoted after the Crosby deal fell through, signing former Cincinnati Bengals star Trey Hendrickson to a four-year, $112 million contract with $60 million guaranteed.

Last season, in 15 games, Crosby recorded 73 tackles, 10 sacks and two forced fumbles. His sack numbers are especially impressive because the team was losing so often that Crosby didn’t have the same number of opportunities to rush the quarterback compared to defenders on better teams.
Crosby made his fifth career Pro Bowl last season.
