Ravens Among Teams Eyeing Maxx Crosby

The Baltimore Ravens are among seven teams reportedly interested in acquiring Raiders' defensive end Maxx Crosby, who could be the top player available on the trade market.

The Ravens join the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles, and L.A. Rams in the Crosby derby, according to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer. The five-time Pro Bowler could be moved as early as this week, with neither the Raiders nor Crosby openly signaling a potential departure.

Crosby, who is seeking a contender, could be a perfect fit for Baltimore as they address critical pass-rushing needs. The Ravens were close to the playoffs last season and could offer the winning environment Crosby reportedly desires, while the Raiders hold the #1 overall pick and are in a significant rebuild phase.
