The Ravens secure star edge rusher Maxx Crosby in a blockbuster trade, signaling their commitment to a Super Bowl push with two-time MVP Lamar Jackson. Baltimore sacrifices two first-round picks, including the 14th overall in 2026, showcasing an all-in mentality under first-year head coach Jesse Minter.
As the legal tampering period opens Monday, teams scramble to make impactful moves, but Crosby's acquisition stands out.
The Ravens, just one win shy of the playoffs last season despite Jackson's injuries, now boost a previously struggling defense.
Other AFC contenders include the Texans, who need offensive improvement despite a strong defense; the Patriots, seeking a top receiver after releasing Stefon Diggs; the Jaguars, with Trevor Lawrence poised for another strong season; and the Bills, who recently acquired DJ Moore to bolster their offense.
The AFC landscape is shifting, and the Ravens are firmly in the mix.
