The Baltimore Ravens shocked the NFL world on Tuesday before free agency began when Maxx Crosby’s proposed trade was canceled without warning.
Now, with NFL free agency beginning on March 11, the Las Vegas Raiders and their star pass rusher are in an awkward position. However, one NFL general manager said Baltimore could move on from Crosby soon.

NFL insider Jordan Schultz says NFL general managers have the Ravens pursuing All-Pro pass rusher Trey Hendrickson. The 31-year-old Cincinnati Bengals star became a free agent on Wednesday and has been linked to multiple teams.
Several NFL teams may be interested in Crosby and Hendrickson, however, Baltimore won’t receive many flowers for the way they handled the Raiders situation.
Las Vegas generated buzz this offseason with proposed trades for Tyler Linderbaum, Nakobe Dean and Quai Walker. Reports indicate the Raiders have allocated more than $260 million to proposed free agents.

It’s clear that new Baltimore head coach Jesse Minter wants to strengthen the Ravens defense. After posting 17.5 sacks in 2023 and 2024, Hendrickson’s transfer will certainly accomplish that goal.

Meanwhile, Hendrickson is set to hit free agency, which would allow Baltimore to retain multiple first-round picks. Baltimore originally offered 2026 and 2027 first-round picks in the failed Crosby trade.

Cincinnati Bengals star Trey Hendrickson was double-teamed by the Green Bay Packers during an NFL game.
Crosby’s saga is sure to be closely watched as well when NFL free agency begins, as the Raiders must decide whether they want to keep the veteran pass rusher or attempt another trade.
