Rams pursued Maxx Crosby before trading for Myles Garrett

The Los Angeles Rams attempted to acquire Maxx Crosby from the Las Vegas Raiders before ultimately trading for Myles Garrett. The Rams initiated a push for Crosby after a potential deal between the Baltimore Ravens and Las Vegas collapsed due to concerns regarding Crosby’s surgically repaired knee. Several teams, including the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, and San Francisco 49ers, monitored the situation, but the Raiders refused to lower their asking price. Crosby expressed a clear desire to remain with Las Vegas and publicly affirmed his commitment to the organization. Following this, Los Angeles shifted its focus toward securing Garrett as its new defensive difference-maker. Crosby remains with the Raiders, who report that his knee has caused no recent complications and is in good health.
