Brandon Walker , Broncos WireWed, March 11, 2026 at 12:47 AM UTC·2 min readWhat happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas (at least for the moment). In a stunning turn of events, Las Vegas Raiders star pass rusher Maxx Crosby, whom the Baltimore Ravens previously agreed to trade for, did not pass his physical in order for the trade to be finalized ahead of the new league year on Wednesday.
The Ravens have now backed out of the deal, and they will retain their 2026 and 2027 first-round picks. On Friday night, the excitement among Broncos Country was palpable, as one of the best pass rushers in the NFL was leaving the division. Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton certainly was excited. Now, that future is in an awkward limbo.
