In a normal season, the Baltimore Ravens not trading for edge rusher Maxx Crosby might not affect the Indianapolis Colts, but in 2026, it will. Indy needs to steal as many wins as it can to make the postseason, and Baltimore and Crosby are on the schedule next season.
The Ravens traded the Las Vegas Raiders two first-round picks in return for Crosby. That, in fact, makes Indy general manager Chris Ballard look even worse for something he did last season, but we will get to that.
Baltimore, just like the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans, isn't waiting on moves this offseason that could reshape their future.
