The Raiders will receive two first-round picks from the Ravens, including the 14th overall pick, in next month’s NFL draft, according to a report.
Crosby, 28, had 10 sacks last season and has reached double figures four times in seven seasons.

The Raiders last made the playoffs in 2021 but went 7-27 over the past two seasons. They have the No. 1 pick in the 2026 draft, and that pick is expected to bring them Indiana point guard Fernando Mendoza.
Meanwhile, the Ravens are entering a new era by firing longtime head coach John Harbaugh and replacing him with former Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter.
