This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.

Maxx Crosby sat down on Bussin’ With The Boys and opened up about the failed Ravens trade. The star edge rusher spent just 48 hours in Baltimore before the deal collapsed. He returned to Las Vegas and now drops cryptic comments that raise more questions.

“It’s all part of the journey, you know what I mean? Ultimately, I was there for maybe 48 hours,” Crosby said. “(Expletive) went left and then I came right back here, so, you know, there’s a lot to the story, there’s a lot of things that people don’t know, people still don’t know what really went down overall, but I’m meant to be here, you know what I mean? I’m meant to be a Raider.”

The Raiders and Ravens agreed on a blockbuster deal in March. Baltimore offered two first-round picks for the five-time Pro Bowler. The trade needed Crosby to pass a physical after his meniscus surgery. Officials cited a failed physical as the reason it fell apart. Crosby suggests the full story remains hidden.

Maxx Crosby Calls Failed Trade Part of His Journey

The veteran refused to spill every detail. He called the experience part of his path, adding that he stays focused on football. New rumors pop up almost daily, yet he brushes them aside.

“There’s a new (expletive) rumor every day. That’s just what you gotta deal with, and that’s part of it, but I don’t really give a (expletive), you know what I mean? I play football, I love what I do.”

Raiders general manager John Spytek also avoids deep discussion of the mess.

“People do what they do,” Spytek said. “I’m just trying to make the Raiders as good as possible. Right now Maxx is here and I have every expectation that he’ll be here.”

Crosby looked sharp in joint practices against the Texans. Houston coach DeMeco Ryans praised his effort and motor.

Maxx Crosby Stays Locked In With Raiders

The defensive end recovered well and dominates training camp. He remains the clear leader on the Raiders defense. Crosby signed a big extension the year before and still carries high expectations. The failed deal left both sides with lingering questions about medical findings and long-term durability.

Crosby made clear he never wanted to leave in the first place. He views the entire saga as water under the bridge while preparing for a big 2026 season.

Crosby’s comments keep the mystery alive. He insists the public still lacks the real story from those chaotic 48 hours in Baltimore. For now, he stays put in silver and black and focuses on wrecking opposing quarterbacks. The full truth may never surface, but Crosby already moved forward as a committed Raider.
