Maxx Crosby has broken his silence after a little more than 24 hours of pandemonium.
The Las Vegas Raiders had agreed over the weekend to trade Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens for two first-round picks, but the Ravens ‘backed out’ of the trade, reportedly due to concerns the Ravens had with Crosby’s physical.
Baltimore subsequently struck a deal with free agent Trey Hendrickson and now Crosby is back with the Silver and Black, the team the 28-year-old started his career with in 2019 out of Eastern Michigan as a fourth round pick.
The five-time Pro Bowler took to X, formerly Twitter, to finally directly speak out following the whirlwind news cycle.
‘Everything Happens For A Reason. Believe Nothing You Hear & Half Of What You See. Im A Raider. I’m Back. Run That (Expletive),’ the Raiders edge rusher said in a X post, that included a gif of The Undertaker busting out of a flaming coffin.
