Crosby addressed the move in a 12-minute video posted on his official X account, expressing a readiness to learn Baltimore’s system and a firm commitment to helping the team win a championship. He emphasized leading by action and setting a high bar for himself, while steering clear of grand predictions and focusing on doing whatever it takes to reach the Super Bowl.
The Ravens’ excitement surrounding Crosby’s arrival was tempered by emotion from the veteran pass rusher as he reflected on leaving Las Vegas. Crosby became a Raiders standout after being drafted in 2019, tearfully acknowledging his journey and his aspiration to finish his career with the franchise, even as he acknowledged the difficult decision to move on.
In addition to his personal reflections, Crosby thanked the Raiders organization for supporting his sobriety journey, including the owner and fans who stood by him through challenging times. His candid message highlighted the complex mix of pride in his career, gratitude for his support system, and a genuine desire to contribute immediately to Baltimore’s push for a championship.
Crosby signed a three-year, $106.5 million extension prior to the 2025 season, and his addition to a Baltimore defense that already features high-caliber talent could accelerate the Ravens’ pursuit of a deep playoff run. With Crosby in the mix, plus a coaching staff known for its commitment to a strong defense, Baltimore appears equipped to contend for a sustained run at the Super Bowl.
