A little over 24 hours after the trade that wasn’t engulfed the football world, Maxx Crosby has spoken.
And he seems to be happy to be back with the Raiders.
Crosby took to X on Wednesday night, posting a GIF of WWE’s Undertaker coming back from the dead.
“Everything Happens For A Reason,” Crosby wrote. “Believe Nothing You Hear & Half Of What You See. Im A Raider. I’m Back. Run That S–t.”
It was revealed Tuesday night that the Ravens ultimately backed out of their trade with the Raiders for Crosby that would have sent two first-round picks to Vegas in exchange for the five-time Pro Bowl edge rusher.
Baltimore apparently was not comfortable with Crosby’s medical tests before the trade could be approved.
Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta, hours after the team agreed to a four-year contract with pass rusher Trey Hendrickson, said he was “gutted” by not being able to cross the goal line and bring Crosby into the fold.
“I understand how people might maybe from afar would feel that way, but nobody’s more upset about this than me — gutted by it actually,” DeCosta said during a press conference. “And so a regret, a big regret for me, but we will move on as a football team.”
DeCosta also revealed the team had plans to pair Hendrickson and Crosby on the defensive line together, so the Wednesday signing was not simply a panic move to replace the production Crosby would have likely given Baltimore.
Crosby is under contract with Vegas through the 2029 season — with a potential out in 2028 — after he signed an extension in 2022.

Nevertheless, it’s unclear if his social media post comes after any discussions with the Raiders or not. Vegas could, in theory, try to flip Crosby, as it already had “several” teams reach out, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Tuesday night.
Crosby underwent meniscus surgery in January after the team shut down him down for the final two games of the regular season, which led him to storming out of the team facility.
The edge rusher’s agent tried to quash any concerns over Crosby’s health on Tuesday night.
“Maxx remains on track to return during the offseason program & will undoubtedly return as the dominant game wrecker he has been these past 7 seasons,” CJ LaBoy wrote in a post on X.
