Ravens monitoring Crosby trade market

The Baltimore Ravens are among seven teams keeping close tabs on Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby's potential availability, according to Sports Illustrated.

The Las Vegas Raiders' star defensive end Maxx Crosby could be on the move, with the Ravens joining the Cowboys, Bears, Bills, Patriots, Eagles, and Rams in expressing interest. Crosby, a five-time Pro Bowler, may be traded as teams finalize rosters, though neither he nor the Raiders have openly discussed a potential departure.

The Ravens, in need of an elite edge rusher, could be an ideal fit for Crosby, who reportedly seeks a contender. Baltimore was close to the playoffs last season and may view Crosby as a solution to bolster their pass rush ahead of the draft.
