The Baltimore Ravens hit the reset button this offseason. After 18 years with John Harbaugh at the helm, they moved on from their long-time head coach after missing the playoffs in 2025. In turn, they hired Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, who then hired former Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver in the same role.
The Ravens have been wildly inconsistent on defense over the last two seasons - something they hope Minter and Weaver can fix. A great way to help the unit would be a splash trade, which is what ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports could very well happen in the form of Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby.
"What has been made clear to me: Crosby wants to be a part of a winner," Fowler writes. "That's the priority. Whether and how that's conveyed is still unclear. He has been fiercely loyal to Las Vegas. That loyalty will be tested more than ever in the coming weeks. The reality is the Raiders are still far away from significant winning, and the trade interest in Crosby is incredibly robust. In fact, I believe more than a dozen teams, possibly up to 20, will at least inquire with levels of serious intent. And there are some natural would-be contenders, including the Bills, Lions, 49ers, Cowboys and Ravens."
Adding Crosby as a top-tier star for Jesse Minter's defense would skyrocket the Ravens to the top of the Super Bowl conversation. With Kyle Hamilton patrolling the backend with Marlon Humphrey, adding a top-tier edge rusher would make the Ravens that much more dangerous defensively.
