Raiders star Maxx Crosby headed to Ravens — not Bears

Maxx Crosby won’t be a Bear. Or a Lion. Or a Cowboy.

Amid speculation in recent days about the Raiders star edge rusher’s next home, the team on Friday agreed to trade him to the Ravens. The Ravens will send the Raiders first-round picks this year and next, including the No. 14 overall choice this year, per reports. The trade can't be made official until next week.

Crosby and Bears quarterback Caleb Williams shared their mutual admiration in a podcast interview last month. Speaking on “The Rush,” host Crosby told Williams the two were wired the same.

“What’s gotten you to this point is being Superman, and what’s gotten me to my level of wrecking games is I feel like I’m Superman,” Crosby told Williams.

That, along with the Bears cutting $44 million in cap space this week because of the retirement of center Drew Dalman, the trade of receiver DJ Moore and the cutting of linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, left Crosby a target for the Bears this offseason. They were even the Las Vegas favorite to do so.

General manager Ryan Poles warned last week the dangers of going all-in, though, referencing former GM Ryan Pace’s trade for the Raiders’ Khalil Mack and how quickly the Bears’ roster shriveled in the wake of it.
