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 moving the No. 14 pick. 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.
