The Baltimore Ravens‘ decision to pull out of the Maxx Crosby has taken everyone by surprise, including those in the NFL.
Several teams around the league are “definitely shocked, to say the least,” about Crosby’s trade from the Las Vegas Raiders to the Ravens getting called off, FOX Sports NFL insider Jay Glazer reported Tuesday. And while Crosby is back on the trade market, it doesn’t appear that another deal involving the star edge rusher is imminent because the “few teams who were previously interested already committed their money elsewhere, so they can’t jump in now,” Glazer wrote in a social media post.
“Bad all around,” Glazer added.
The Dallas Cowboys might be among that group of teams. They were reportedly among the teams interested in Crosby before the Raiders agreed to trade him to the Ravens for two first-round, but the Cowboys aren’t expected to revisit a potential deal for Crosby, a league source told FOX Sports’ Ralph Vacchiano.
As we await to see what’s next for Crosby, one unfortunate fan learned that he can’t pull out of a promise he made from the previously agreed-upon deal. An X user named “@Hamilton_DPOY” followed up on his promise that he would shave his head if the Ravens traded for Crosby on Tuesday. Roughly 40 minutes after he posted his haircut, the news broke that the Ravens were pulling out of the deal.
Crosby, meanwhile, took to Instagram shortly after the news broke. He posted an image of himself on what appeared to be a private jet, with his feet resting on a seat.
Crosby’s agent, on the other hand, came to his client’s defense as he underwent meniscus surgery in January.
“Maxx continues to be on track in his recovery and if anything is ahead of schedule according to his surgeon Dr Neal El Attrache,” CJ LaBoy wrote in a social media post. “Maxx remains on track to return during the offseason program & will undoubtedly return as the dominant game wrecker he has been these past 7 seasons.”
How did the rest of the football world react to the deal? Many tried to find other instances of a major trade being nixed at the last second, while others wondered what was next for the Ravens, Raiders and Crosby.
