The Las Vegas Raiders are trading Star Pass Russia Max Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens for two first round draft picks. The deal wraps up on March 11th when the new league year starts. This move shakes up the NFL and ends dreams for fans hoping their team would land him. Philadelphia Eagle supporters had buzzed about adding Crosby to boost their defense. That talk is done now. Instead of chasing a big name, the Eagles can focus on their own young talent along the line. Fans might feel let down without the splashy signing, but it clears the path for players like Nolan Smith. He gets a bigger role to show his stuff after some strong flashes. Jaelic's hunt also benefits. The athletic defender led Philly with 6.5 sacks last year and stays in line for key snaps. Meanwhile, Jalen Phillips could see his next contract hit around $25 million a year. His side has more leverage without a league competition.

1:02Jalen Carter dodged trade rumors too. His name popped up in talks for Crosby or even Micah Parsons. This fits the Eagles Long Hill plan to build through homegrown stars. They have turned guys like Fletcher Cox into studs by giving chances to develop. Now Smith, Hunt and others have their shot to prove it pays off on the field.
