Maxx Crosby has made it clear he’s not going anywhere.
The Las Vegas Raiders agreed to trade Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens for two first-round picks last week, but the Ravens pulled out of the deal Tuesday, citing a failed physical.
Crosby, 28, responded to the scrapped trade on social media Wednesday night to declare he’s not going anywhere.

“Everything happens for a reason. Don’t believe anything you hear and half of what you see. I’m a Raider. I’m back. Drive that s—,” Crosby wrote to X.
Crosby had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in January. After the Ravens cited Crosby’s failed physical as the reason the trade fell through, the star quarterback retweeted his agent’s tweet about the current status of his knee.

“Maxx continues to be on track in his recovery and if anything is ahead of schedule according to his surgeon Dr. Neal El Attrache. Maxx remains on track to return during the offseason program and will undoubtedly return as the dominant play breaker he has been for the past 7 seasons,” Crosby’s agent CJ LaBoy wrote to X.
The Ravens pivoted quickly after the Crosby deal fell through, signing former Cincinnati Bengals star Trey Hendrickson to a four-year, $112 million contract with $60 million guaranteed.

Last season, in 15 games, Crosby recorded 73 tackles, 10 sacks and two forced fumbles. His sack numbers are particularly impressive because the team lost so often that Crosby didn’t get the same number of opportunities to rush the quarterback compared to defenders on better teams.
Crosby made his fifth career Pro Bowl last season.
