Longtime Las Vegas Raiders standout Maxx Crosby has publicly thanked the organization and its fans after being traded to the Baltimore Ravens on Friday. In a video message shared to his social media accounts on Saturday, Crosby reflected on his years with the franchise and expressed gratitude for his time playing under owner Mark Davis.
Crosby, a defining defensive presence for the Raiders in recent seasons, acknowledged the role the team and fan base played in his development from a promising young pass-rusher into one of the league’s most recognized defensive players. He referenced the relationships he built within the organization, noting his appreciation for teammates, coaches, and staff members who supported him throughout his tenure.
The edge rusher also directed his message to Raiders supporters, recognizing their passion and loyalty during the team’s transition from Oakland to Las Vegas. He credited the fan base with creating an intense home-field environment and said the connection he felt with them was a significant part of his experience. Crosby’s comments underscored how meaningful his time with the franchise has been, both on and off the field.
While looking back with appreciation, Crosby also turned his focus toward his next chapter with the Baltimore Ravens. In his video, he described himself as excited for the opportunity to join a new organization and contribute to a different defensive culture. He highlighted his eagerness to get started in Baltimore, indicating that he is ready to embrace new teammates, coaches, and expectations as he transitions to the AFC North.
Crosby’s move to the Ravens marks a major shift for both franchises, as he leaves behind the team that drafted him to join a perennial contender known for its defensive identity. Though specific details of his role in Baltimore have not been outlined publicly, his message made clear that he intends to approach the new challenge with enthusiasm while carrying with him the experiences he gained during his years with the Raiders.
The social media video served as both a farewell and a fresh start: a final salute to the Raiders community that supported him, and an introduction to Ravens fans who will now be watching one of the league’s premier pass-rushers in a new uniform.
