Seahawks' Lawrence Outshines Ravens' Missed Crosby

On March 12, the Baltimore Ravens made waves by pulling out of a trade for Las Vegas

Raiders' defensive end, Max Crosby, just before free agency, started.

Crosby, a five-time pro-baller in his seven-year career, brings elite pass rushing with double

digit sacks nearly every season.

The deal had seemed done on the eve of the legal taparing window.

This flipped disruptive plans across the league, as teams reshaped their rosters, assuming

Crosby would land in Baltimore.

The Raiders felt the hit most, but fallout rippled out, forcing quick adjustments league-wide.

Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks stayed clear of the chaos.

Seahawks fans can breathe easy since their general manager John Schneider signed veteran to

Marcus Lawrence instead, a player with similar impact.

Both Crosby and Lawrence shine not just in stats, but in leadership and all around defense,

from run-stopping to quarterback pressure.

Lawrence elevated Seattle's unit right away, instilling a fierce work ethic that turned

early struggles into dominant play by season's end.

His six sacks, 53 tackles, and non-stop effort helped forge a top defense full of discipline

and passion.

While the Ravens grapple with last year's defensive woes and a new scheme, they might second-guess

missing Crosby's relentless style.

Seattle's smart move with Lawrence already paid off big, securing that Lombardi Trophy

victory.
