Ravens back out of trade with Raiders for star Maxx Crosby in rare move

'Fox & Friends' co-host Brian Kilmeade talks with John Harbaugh in East Rutherford, N.J., about his firing from the Baltimore Ravens, his new position as head coach of the New York Giants and the support from President Donald Trump.

The Baltimore Ravens are backing out of a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders for star edge rusher Maxx Crosby, the Raiders announced Tuesday. 

"The Baltimore Ravens have backed out of our trade agreement for Maxx Crosby. We will have no further comment at this time," the Raiders said. 

Per multiple reports, the Ravens made the decision to drop the trade due to medical concerns that arose from Crosby's physical. 

Crosby had posted a video on his Instagram story showing he was in Balitmore just hours before the news broke of the trade falling apart.

The Raiders would have received two first-round picks from the Ravens, including the No. 14 overall pick in next month’s NFL Draft, one report said.

The timing of the deal falling apart means that both teams were under the impression the trade, and its many implications involving salary cap space and draft picks, would be in affect while navigating NFL free agency. 

The Ravens had seen a flury of seven players depart for other teams in free agency before the deal with Crosby fell apart. Meanwhile, the Raiders will now have millions in salary added back onto their payroll after signing at least 8 players in free agency.
