Summary

On this episode of 3 & Out, we break down the latest twist involving Maxx Crosby after the Ravens reportedly back out of the trade. What happened behind the scenes, what does this mean for the Raiders moving forward, and where does Crosby’s situation go from here?

We also open up the mailbag to answer listener questions, including why Jordan Love doesn’t get more recognition as a top quarterback in the NFL, how general managers approach free agency after winning a Super Bowl, and the challenges teams face trying to stay competitive after reaching the top.

Plus, we get into several other questions and topics from around the league as we continue to break down the biggest storylines shaping the NFL offseason.

All that and more on this episode of 3 & Out.

star pass rusher, which I think includes just keeping

them.
