Ravens Among Teams Eyeing Raiders' Crosby

The Baltimore Ravens are among seven teams reportedly keeping close tabs on Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby, who could be available in a trade as early as this week.

According to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer, the Ravens join the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles, and L.A. Rams in showing interest in the five-time Pro Bowler. Crosby, who reportedly wants to join a winning program, could be a perfect fit for Baltimore as the team seeks to address its pass-rushing concerns.

The Raiders hold the #1 overall pick in next month's draft and are undergoing a significant rebuild, while Baltimore was inches away from making the postseason last year. Neither the Raiders nor Crosby have openly indicated a desire for a separation, but teams are expected to start filling roster spots soon, potentially creating an organic market for the star defensive end.
