Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby celebrated reaching six years of sobriety after a trade with the Ravens collapsed Tuesday due to a reported failed physical.
“3/11/20. 6 Years Sober. God Doesn’t Make Mistakes,” Crosby wrote Wednesday on X, adding a bald eagle and diamond emojis.
The five-time Pro Bowler also celebrated the milestone with his wife, Rachel, and some friends at a party, where singer and rapper Shaboozey performed on Saturday.
Rachel shared an emotional message, praising him for his dedication to his sobriety.
“Our man is 6 years sober,” she wrote on her Instagram Story, including a photo of Crosby holding their three-year-old daughter, Ella Rose.
“None of this could of happened if you didn’t check yourself into rehab 6 years ago. We are proud of you daily!
“Your hard work and dedication doesn’t ever go unnoticed. Ella and I love you so much baby! God doesn’t make any mistakes.”
Crosby — who is two months removed from left knee surgery for a significant meniscus tear — has dominated headlines since the Raiders announced Tuesday that Baltimore “backed out” of their trade agreement.
His agent, C.J. LaBoy, tweeted the All-Pro defensive end is “on track” to return to action during the offseason program.
Crosby, who signed a 3-year, $106.5 million extension with the Raiders in March 2025, was in Baltimore Tuesday morning, according to a since-removed post on his Instagram Story.
He was back in Las Vegas at the Raiders’ facility to resume his rehab program on Wednesday, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The Ravens and defensive end Trey Hendrickson reportedly agreed to a four-year, $112 million deal on Wednesday.
Crosby suffered a left knee injury in the Raiders’ shutout 31-0 loss to the Chiefs last October.
He played through the injury before being shut down by Las Vegas for the final two games of the 2025 season.
Crosby is open about his sobriety journey.
In 2020, he did a month-long stint in rehab before entering a sober living facility.
“There were a lot of dark moments,” Crosby told The Post in 2024 of his sobriety. “I can’t point to one thing specifically, but just not recognizing the person I looked at in the mirror. That was probably the darkest moment.
“I had no control over my life. It was a complete mess and chaos at all times, and it was overwhelming. The only person that was gonna change that was myself. There were a lot of people that helped, but I’ve tried to help a lot of people, I’ve been around people that have tried to help other people, and there’s about five percent of us, it’s like 5-10 percent that actually stay clean. The only way you do that is if you do the work, and it’s every single day.”
