The Raiders will receive two first-round picks from the Ravens, including the No. 14 overall pick in next month’s NFL draft, a report said.
Crosby, 28, had 10 sacks last season and has reached double figures four times in his seven seasons.

The Raiders last appeared in the playoffs back in 2021, but have gone 7-27 over the last two seasons. They have the No. 1 pick in the 2026 draft, which is expected to land them Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza.
The Ravens, meanwhile, are entering a new era after firing longtime head coach John Harbaugh and replacing him with former Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter.
