The reported deal came hours after the Ravens backed out of a trade for Crosby over apparent health concerns. The trade was agreed upon Friday, but couldn’t be finalized until Wednesday.
Crosby failed a physical, which ended up nixing the trade, a source told The Associated Press. The Raiders said the Ravens “backed out.” The deal would have given Las Vegas two first-round draft picks and Baltimore would have reenergized its defense under new head coach Jesse Minter.
