The Las Vegas Raiders thought their business was done. It was already tough enough, having to part with possibly their best player by trading Max Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens. Of course, getting two first-round picks (including No. 14 overall) made the deal easier.
Still, now that the Ravens have cooled off and backed out of the deal after Crosby failed his physical, the Raiders are in a tough spot. Now everyone knows they tried to trade Crosby. Not only that, Crosby's value has arguably decreased after failing the medical test.
Nevertheless, according to athleticAccording to NFL insider Diana Russini, the Raiders are not backing down from their original asking price. They still want two first-round picks to trade Crosby.
Meanwhile, many were skeptical of Crosby getting two first-round picks. After failing the physical, their chances of doing so seem even slimmer.
After all, free agency has been going on for three days. Teams have already adjusted their budgets after chasing top talents. Some teams that might have been targeting a Crosby trade have already made other plans, such as the Cowboys trading for Rashaan Gary, giving the Raiders fewer options to negotiate.
Still, if Las Vegas isn't willing to trade Crosby, they should have no trouble getting at least a first-round pick in return. It remains to be seen whether they can get more.
