Ravens Among Teams Eyeing Crosby Trade

The Baltimore Ravens are among seven teams reportedly interested in acquiring five-time Pro Bowl defensive end Maxx Crosby from the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Ravens join the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles, and L.A. Rams in expressing interest in Crosby, according to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer. The Raiders' defensive end could be moved as early as this week as teams begin spending their cap budgets.

Crosby, who is believed to want to join a winning program, could be a perfect fit for Baltimore as they seek to address their pass-rushing needs. The Raiders, holding the #1 overall pick, are in a rebuild phase, while the Ravens were close to making the postseason last year. Neither the Raiders nor Crosby has publicly indicated a desire for a trade, but a "market emerging organically" could be the cleanest solution for all parties.
