(Image: Andy Lewis\/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Cowboys Back in the Picture?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe Baltimore Ravens have backed out of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/las-vegas-gambling-raiders-trade-maxx-crosby-to-ravens\/\">our trade agreement for Maxx Crosby<\/a>. We will have no further comment at this time,\u201d the Raiders posted on their website this evening. Sources told ESPN there were medical concerns with Crosby after a physical. Crosby had been rehabbing a knee injury.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Raiders announced over the weekend they were trading the Pro Bowl defensive end to the Ravens for first-round picks in 2026 (14<sup>th<\/sup> overall) and 2027. The Raiders were widely applauded for what they got in return for Crosby. The Dallas Cowboys, for example, reportedly wouldn\u2019t go further than a first round and second round draft pick.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">An NFL Network story tonight said the Cowboys might still be interested in Crosby. Trades don&#8217;t become official until the NFL&#8217;s new league year starts today at 4 p.m. EST.<\/p>\n<h2>Medical Concerns<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Crosby had posted a video on his X feed just after the trade talking about how he held no ill will towards the Raiders and was excited about the next chapter of his career with the Ravens.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bettors were liking the trade, according to sportsbooks. The Ravens\u2019 Super Bowl odds went from +1200 to +1000 after the trade, according to BetMGM. Since the deal, 15.1% of money (most) was on the Ravens to win the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">So everyone will have to see where all of this goes from here.<\/p>\n<h2>Super Bowl Betting Futures<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bettors were also liking some of the moves the Buffalo Bills have been making, if movement in NFL Futures betting is any indication.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Bills, led by an MVP quarterback Josh Allen, have made some significant moves, led today by signing TE Dawson Knox to a new, restructured contract \u2013 three years, signed to reduce his 2026 cap number of $17.068 million. Last season, Knox appeared in 17 games and had 36 catches for 417 yards and four touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Bills earlier traded CB Taron Johnson and a 2026 seventh-round pick to the Raiders for a 2026 sixth-round pick. CB Dee Alford agreed on a three-year contract; the first free agent move under new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard. Over the weekend the Bills picked up WR DJ Moore and a 2025 fifth-round pick from the Chicago Bears for a 2026 second-round pick, bolstering team\u2019s wide receiver depth.<\/p>\n<h2>Bills Moves<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Kansas City Chiefs traded CB Trent McDuffie to the L.A. Rams for the Rams\u2019 2026 first-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick, 2026 sixth-round pick, and a 2027 third-round pick. McDuffie is a star, and cornerback was the big weakness with the Rams\u2019 defence last season.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bettors liked that trade as well.<\/p>\n<p>According to BetMGM, Rams&#8217; Super Bowl futures after the trade went from +900 to +800. To win the NFC, the Rams moved from +450 to +400 after McDuffie trade.<\/p>\n<p>Over at theScore Bet, the Chiefs are generating 17.2% of bets and 32% of handle in Super Bowl Winner Futures betting, followed by the Bills (17.1%, 10.8%), Rams (12.3%, 10.3%), then the Ravens (6.7%, 6.7%), before the Crosby news broke, of course.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/las-vegas-gambling-ravens-back-out-crosby-deal\/\">Las Vegas Raiders: Ravens Back Out of Maxx Crosby Deal<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\">Casino.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ESPN reports that Crosby failed a medical According to media reports, the Cowboys are back in the picture for Crosby At BetMGM, since the trade, 15.1% of money (most) was on the Ravens to win the Super Bowl The NFL\u2019s free agency period kicked off yesterday, with a flurry of signings and trades through today,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":682,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[10],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cerulepillar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cerulepillar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cerulepillar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cerulepillar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cerulepillar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=680"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cerulepillar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":683,"href":"https:\/\/cerulepillar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680\/revisions\/683"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cerulepillar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/682"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cerulepillar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cerulepillar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cerulepillar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
