Raiders' Maxx Crosby Trade Fallout: A Blessing in Disguise

0:00On March 27th, the Las Vegas Raiders nearly traded star defensive end Max Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens for two first round draft picks earlier this year. The deal fell apart after the Ravens passed on Crosby during his physical exam, and at the time Raiders' general manager John Spitek and the team were frustrated with how things played out. But now, Spitek says keeping Crosby turned out to be the right call for the franchise. Spitek has built a strong relationship with Crosby since joining the Raiders. They topped often during the season and off season, facing some tough choices along the way. In a recent team video, Spitek prays Crosby's commitment and welcomed him back fully. He's rehabbing now and expected to return strong by August. Things have a way of working out, and the Raiders are excited for Crosby's impact in the years ahead.
