Summary

The Las Vegas Raiders nearly traded star pass rusher Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens, but the deal reportedly fell apart after medical evaluations, leaving Crosby in silver and black. On this episode of the Raiders Squad Show, Q Myers, Amber Theoharis, and Shantelle Chand break down why Baltimore backed out of the trade, whether Ravens GM Eric DeCosta was trying to pair Crosby with Trey Hendrickson, and what the situation means for the Raiders’ salary cap and Crosby’s future in Las Vegas. The crew also reacts to the Geno Smith trade to the New York Jets, where the Raiders moved the veteran quarterback along with a 7th-round pick in exchange for a 6th-rounder. Was this a smart move by GM John Spytek, and what does it mean for the Raiders’ quarterback room? Could Kirk Cousins be a realistic backup or bridge option behind rookie QB Fernando Mendoza, or should the team look elsewhere for depth behind Aidan O’Connell? Plus, with 10 total picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Raiders still have plenty of opportunities to add talent even after losing the No. 14 pick, after the Ravens pulled out of the Crosby trade. Should Las Vegas prioritize offense or defense, and is the secondary a major area of concern heading into next season? The show wraps up with questions and comments from fans as the panel breaks down the latest Raiders news, trades, free agency moves, and draft strategy.

a lot of emotions that raider nation is feeling but in that final segment amber and q are

1:24.3

going to be taking some of your questions and comments and we're also going to be talking about the picks that are left for the Raiders. Remember, no more do they have that number 14 overall pick because that was involved with the trade with Max Crosby. So where do the Raiders go now knowing that that pick is gone? We'll take a look into that. Also, we'll talk about the QB2 position or the bridge quarterback position. We're going to talk about that because Gino Smith, the Raiders got value for Gino Smith, which I was actually surprised about. We are also going to begin into all the signings for the Raiders.

We get the report on Tuesday that Max and the Ravens trade fell through,

2:12.4

that the Ravens pulled out of the trade.

2:13.8

I think everyone was really surprised,

2:15.8

but the Ravens have pulled some shady moves before.

2:21.4

They've kind of done this before, but not to this length. And after that, you know, the chips started to fall.

2:25.1

They signed Trey Hendrickson, didn't even wait a long time. So it looked extra shady.

2:30.7

But let's go to the point where the deal fell through. And that was announced because we weren't able to talk about that. Amber, I know you got ties to Baltimore. You know that organization really well. What were your thoughts when you heard that trade with

2:38.8

Max Crosby fell through? And do you believe that it was all because of the physicals? Because I think

2:43.2

we all knew that he was going to fail that either way. I'm torn between trying to maintain respect

2:49.2

for a man I worked with and know very personally,

you know, known since I was 20 years old, which is Eric DeCosta. So that's 27 years, if you all doing the math.
