Brady Blocks Crosby to Patriots, Raiders Get Draft Picks

0:00On this March 8th, here's what's making headlines for the NFL. The Las Vegas Raiders traded their star defensive end Max Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, wrapping up months of trade rumors. In exchange, the Raiders got two first round draft picks, a hefty haul that sealed the deal. Other teams jumped into the mix too. The Dallas Cowboys and Jacksonville Jaguars put in offers for Crosby, but they fell short compared to Baltimore's package of two top picks. The New England Patriots showed strong interest during the offseason, but one big row block stopped them cold. Tom Brady, now focused on the Raiders, made sure Crosby didn't head to New England. Sources say Brady flat out refused to send Crosby to coach Mike Raible in the Patriots, his old team. Even though Brady and Raible were teammates back in the early 2000s, Brady didn't want to boost a potential rival. Brady's stance fits his recent pattern of staying neutral on the Patriots. He's drawn heed from former teammates for not picking sides, like in his Super Bowl comments earlier this year. Trying to keep everyone happy in his. New roles.
