BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Ravens withdrew from an agreed trade to acquire Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby, the Las Vegas team announced Tuesday after the deal could not be finalized before the league year began. The Raiders said Baltimore backed out, citing Crosby's failed physical; Crosby had meniscus surgery in January and his agent said he was ahead of schedule in rehab. Baltimore subsequently signed Trey Hendrickson to a four‑year, $112 million contract.
