Sources: Ravens nixed trade for Crosby due to medical concerns - ESPN

HENDERSON, Nev. — The Las Vegas Raiders announced Tuesday that the Ravens have «backed out» of a trade agreement that would have sent All-Pro defensive end Maxx Crosby to Baltimore in exchange for two first-round picks.

No further details were provided in the Raiders' announcement, but league sources told ESPN the Ravens backed out because of medical concerns that arose during a physical. Trades are contingent on players passing the physical and aren't official until the start of the new league year Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET.

Ravens officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Raiders were set to meet Tuesday night to try to figure out their next steps, according to sources. It is unclear whether a Crosby deal can be revived in some form, but this puts Las Vegas in a difficult situation due to all of the money it has already committed to outside free agents.

The Raiders were big spenders Monday. They used the league's most cap space to agree to terms with three-time Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum, one of the top free agents, on a three-year, $81 million deal that includes $60 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN. The Raiders also strengthened their defense by making deals with linebackers Quay Walker (three-year, $40.5 million) and Nakobe Dean (three-year, $36 million) and edge rusher Kwity Paye (three-year, $48 million), and agreeing to re-sign cornerback Eric Stokes (three-year, $30 million) and edge rusher Malcolm Koonce (one-year, $11 million).

Las Vegas also added Jalen Nailor (three-year, $35 million) to improve its wide receiver room.

According to a team source, the Raiders are open to potentially repackaging a Crosby trade. One team that will be a long shot, however, is the Dallas Cowboys,
