TheLas Vegas Raiderstraded edge rusher Maxx Crosby, no stranger to the subject of trade rumors over the years, to theBaltimore Ravensfor a package that included two first-round picks, according to multiple reports. The deal cannot be formally completed until the new league year at 4:00 p.m. ET (to be exact) on the 11th, but it is in place.

As is the case in a trade of this magnitude, there are winners and losers.

WINNERS

Maxx Crosby

All of the reporting from the end of last season indicated Crosby and the Raiders were headed for a divorce. FOX Sports said Crosby left the building when broached with the idea of being shut down for the final two games of the season as Vegas sought the No. 1 pick (which they "earned"). Crosby, 28, had minor surgery to repair his meniscus in January.

Now Crosby has a fresh start on the opposite coast looking to revive a brand built around violent defense – certainly fitting Crosby's own play style. Injuries have held Crosby back statistically during the past two seasons, but he managed 10 sacks a year ago, and 2024 was the first season he ever missed games.

Ravens' pass rush

Travis Jones led the Ravens in sacks last year with 5.0. They were 30th in hurry percentage (5.6%), tied for 30th in sacks (30) and 31st in sack percentage (4.6). Baltimore traded Odafe Oweh in the middle of last season, and other pass-rushers Kyle Van Noy and Dre'Mont Jones could leave in free agency. Adding Crosby should mean better production in 2026.

Nnamdi Madubuike's neck injury eliminated his 2025 campaign and could be career-ending. Having Crosby in the fold means Baltimore's hopes of getting after the quarterback don't depend entirely on his recovery.

Lamar Jackson

Putting stars around other stars is never a bad idea when organizations are in win-now mode. Jackson is a two-time league MVP who has to play better in the biggest games, sure, but eliminating question marks on the other side of the ball can only benefit his ultimate pursuit of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. And it looks like Jackson knew well before the news hit everybody else's social media feeds.

Fernando Mendoza

The Raiders are now picking first overall and 14th after acquiring the Ravens' pick. Mendoza, the Heisman Trophy winner and national champion from Indiana, will be pick No. 1. Now the Raiders can add a fellow incoming rookie with whom he can help transform the franchise.

Eric DeCosta

The Ravens had never traded a first-round pick for a player before. Baltimore's executive vice president and general manager made history by parting with not one, but a pair, to land Crosby.

According to Spotrac, DeCosta can convert Crosby's salary for this upcoming season into a bonus and lower the acquired cap hit from $30.7 million to $7.73 million. Owner Steve Bisciotti is normally wise enough to make such a thing reality.

DeCosta paid a premium but ultimately landed the object of several contenders' desires.

Las Vegas' second-year GM took a distressed asset and nonetheless received market price set by the Dallas Cowboys' acquisition of Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets last year. He added a top-half-of-the-first-round selection in 2026 to help kickstart the rebuild. And the cap flexibility moving forward can only be a positive if Mendoza can provide some juice while on his rookie deal.

Jesse Minter

The first-year head Baltimore coach has said he expects to call defensive plays in 2026. The growing pains of installing a new system will inevitably become apparent early on. But the 42-year-old now has a potential magic eraser for any scheme mishaps with a game-wrecker such as Crosby lining up.

Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, Bo Nix

The trio of AFC West quarterbacks who no longer have to see Crosby twice a year. Which one called the Uber to take Crosby to the airport?

LOSERS

Las Vegas Raiders, Mark Davis

Not that collecting a paycheck – especially a record-setting (temporarily) one – is a sign of loyalty, but Crosby at least rewarded the Raiders by signing his massive extension (three-year, $106.5 million with $91.5 million guaranteed). To lose a player of Crosby's ilk on the field and character off of it is a significant blow, however.

Eric Decosta

The Baltimore GM likely will need to do a new Jackson deal with Crosby's on the books. Baltimore has not been afraid to pay and extend its stars: left tackle Ronnie Stanley, safety Kyle Hamilton, linebacker Roquan Smith, cornerback Marlon Humphrey. That means the front office has to hit on filling out the rest of the roster while praying the big names can stay healthy. The formula can work. It's also a gamble.

Jesse Minter

Replacing John Harbaugh, who led the Ravens for 18 years, was big enough shoes to fill. The added pressure of having a player of Crosby's merit won't do anything to limit the playoffs-or-bust expectations in Year 1.

Ravens' chances of signing Tyler Linderbaum

Linderbaum himself isn't a loser – the center who was drafted by the Ravens in 2022 will be getting paid no matter what. But the Ravens being the team doing the paying became less likely with Crosby's massive deal now on the books.

AFC North offensive line coaches

For more than one third of the season, their game plans will have to account for either Crosby, the Pittsburgh Steelers' T.J. Watt or the reigning Defensive Player of the Year in the Cleveland Browns' Myles Garrett.

Joe Burrow

The lone team in the division without a stud on the edge? His own, assuming a Trey Hendrickson reunion is out of the question.

Rob Leonard

Leonard spent the past three years coaching Crosby and was the run game coordinator/defensive line coach who first-year head coach Klint Kubiak promoted to defensive coordinator. Not having Crosby as part of the scheme won't make his new job any easier.

Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars, New England Patriots

Otherwise known as the teams left at the altar. Not that 31 other teams couldn't have used Crosby, but man, the Patriots really could have used him. The Jags' attempt to acquire Crosby, as reported by The Athletic, suggests they'll be quite active over the next few weeks.

Lamar Jackson

Unless Crosby starts channeling Mike Vrabel, Jackson won't be throwing to Crosby. DeCosta and Co. have plenty to address on Jackson's side of the ball – from Linderbaum to Jackson's targets (tight end Isaiah Likely is a free agent) – now.

The officials, who were not authorized to comment publicly on the sensitive matter and spoke on the condition of anonymity, cautioned that the U.S. intelligence has not uncovered that Russia is directing Iran on what to do with the information as theU.S. and Israel continue their bombardmentand Iran fires retaliatory salvos at American assets and allies in the Persian Gulf.

Still, it's the first indication that Moscow has sought to get involved in the war that the U.S. and Israel launched on Iran a week ago. Russia is in the rare club of countries that maintains friendly relations with Tehran, which has faced years of isolation over its nuclear program and its support of proxy groups that have wreaked havoc in the Middle East, including Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis.

Trump on Friday evening berated a reporter for raising the matter when he opened the floor to questions from the media at the end of a White House meeting abouthow paying student-athletes has recalibrated college sports.

"I have a lot of respect for you, you've always been very nice to me," Trump said to Peter Doocy, the Fox News reporter. "What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else."

White House officials downplayed the reports, but did not deny that Russia was sharing intelligence with Iran about U.S. targets in the region. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Friday told reporters that "it clearly is not making any difference with respect to the military operations in Iran because we are completely decimating them."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in a CBS' "60 Minutes" interview on Friday said the U.S. is "tracking everything" and factoring it into battle plans, when asked about the reports Russia was aiding Iran.

"The American people can rest assured their commander in chief is well aware of who's talking to who," he said. "And anything that shouldn't be happening, whether it's in public or back-channeled, is being confronted and confronted strongly."

Leavitt declined to say if Trump had spoken to RussianPresident Vladimir Putinabout the reported intelligence sharing or whether he believed Russia should face repercussions, saying she would let the president speak to that himself.

Asked whether Russia would go beyond political support and offer military assistance to Iran, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said there has been no such request from Tehran.

"We are in dialogue with the Iranian side, with representatives of the Iranian leadership, and will certainly continue this dialogue," he said Friday.

Pushed on whether Moscow has provided any military or intelligence assistance to Tehran since the Iran war's start, he refrained from comment.

Russia has tightened its relationship with Iran as it looked for badly needed missiles and drones to utilize in itsfour-year war against Ukraine.

The Biden administration declassified intelligence findings that showed Iran supplies Moscow with attack drones and has assisted the Kremlin with building a drone-manufacturing factory.

The former U.S. administration also accused Iran oftransferring short-range ballistic missilestoRussia for its war in Ukraine.

Details about the U.S. intelligence were first reported by The Washington Post.

Asked whether the revelation had shaken Trump's faith in Putin's ability to cut any peace deal in the Russia-Ukraine war, Leavitt said, "I think the president would say that peace is still an achievable objective with respect to the Russia-Ukraine war."

Meanwhile, Ukrainian PresidentVolodymyr Zelenskyysays the United States and its allies in the Middle East areseeking Ukraine's expertiseincountering Iran's Shahed drones. Tehran has been supplying Russia with Shaheds for its war on Ukraine and are now utilizing them in retaliatory attacks throughout the Gulf.

Zelenskyy says that he's spoken to the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait about possible cooperation.

"Ukraine knows how to defend against Shahed drone attacks because our cities have faced them almost every night," said Ukraine's ambassador to the United States, Olga Stefanishyna. "When our partners are in need, we are always ready to help."

Trump, who has struggled to fulfill a campaign pledge to end the Russia-Ukraine war, has had an up-and-down relationship with Zelenskyy. He's frequently pressured the Ukrainian leader to heed Russian demands, including that Kyiv concede Ukrainian territory still in its control.

With the Pentagon facing questions about whether the Iran war is depleting U.S. stockpiles, Trump this week grumbled that former President Joe Biden provided billions in high-end weaponry to Ukraine and failed to replenish U.S. reserves.

The killing of Martinez, who was 23 at the time, in South Padre Island, Texas, on March 15, 2025, was reported by local news outlets at the time. But it was not until February of this year, nearly 11 months later, thatICE confirmed one of its agentshad fatally shot Martinez.

In an internal report released by a nonprofit watchdog group last month, ICE said Martinez "accelerated forward" and struck an agent during the March 2025 incident. The Department of Homeland Security claimed in a statement that an ICE agent had fired "defensive shots" into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez "intentionally ran over" another agent.

But body camera video, which has not been previously reported, shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot. When gunshots are heard in the video, the brake lights of Martinez' vehicle appear to be on.

After he's shot three times, Martinez is seen being pulled from his vehicle, thrown to the ground by an ICE agent, face down, and then handcuffed. Personnel on the scene are not seen in the video providing medical care until after he is handcuffed.

CBS News reached out to representatives for DHS seeking comment on the footage.

The Texas Department of Public Safety investigated Martinez's fatal shooting, though a grand jury last month declined to return criminal indictments in the case.

DHS' official version of events had already been previouslycalled into questionby somebody at the scene. Joshua Orta, Martinez's best friend and a passenger in the vehicle during the shooting, said in a draft declaration that his friend "did not hit anyone" and that he was trying to comply with commands from officers. Orta died in a separate car crash last month, before he could sign that declaration.

Texas DPS released dozens of records related to the investigation late Friday, including a video of an interview that members of the Texas Rangers conducted with Orta. During the police interview, Orta said he and Martinez had a few drinks earlier in the evening, and were driving from Whataburger to a friend's condo when they encountered an area with heavy police presence.

At one point, a police officer told Martinez to stop the car, and he seemed to get "jittery" and "panicked," according to Orta. He said that "out of reaction" Martinez "kind of pushed the gas," but "he didn't floor it, it was barely moving." Orta said Martinez turned the wheel left and the car moved slightly. An officer "got on the hood a little bit" after his feet may have gotten caught, though he said he didn't think Martinez hit the officer. After that, Orta heard an officer yell "stop" and then heard gunshots.

Asked why Martinez didn't stop the car, Orta said he thought Martinez was "panicky" and "didn't know what to do." He suggested at one point that Martinez may have been nervous about an open container in the car. Orta also said at another point during the interview he was concerned that Martinez would get cited for driving while intoxicated.

"He definitely didn't want to go to jail, but as far as running over an officer and endangering, he wouldn't do that," Orta told the two interrogators.

In herfirst television interview since her son's death, Rachel Reyes told CBS News she has struggled to find "closure" because she had not received any videos or reports about Martinez's killing nearly a year after. She called on investigators to be transparent and for federal officials to reform how immigration agents conduct their duties.

"I don't blame President Trump for the death of my son, 'cause he wasn't the one who pulled the trigger," Reyes said, after noting she voted for Mr. Trump in 2024. "But I do think that something needs to be changed in that department as far as the pattern of violence or abuse and impunity."

What happened in the body camera video?

The newly obtained video in question stems from a body camera worn by a South Padre Island police officer. ICE has said the federal Homeland Security Investigations agents involved in Martinez's shooting were helping local police officers control traffic after a car accident.

Nearly 21 minutes into the video, Martinez's vehicle is seen approaching an area with a heavy presence of local, state and federal law enforcement officers. Someone can be heard saying "keep going." Martinez's car is seen moving forward. The vehicle stops for a group of pedestrians.

At one point, some officers appear to become concerned, with one yelling "stop him" several times, followed by "get him out." The officers rush towards Martinez's vehicle, including the officer with a body camera.

Moments later, three gunshots are heard. Before and during the moment those shots ring out, Martinez's vehicle appears to be moving very slowly, if at all, and the brake lights can be seen.

The video showed the rear of Martinez's car when the shots were fired, so any activity near the driver was not visible when he was shot.

After the ICE agent shot Martinez, the vehicle is seen moving slowly. One officer is heard saying "stop the f—ing vehicle." Then, the car comes to a complete stop. The occupants of the vehicle, Martinez and Orta, are directed to exit the vehicle.

The video captures an ICE agent removing Martinez from the car and throwing him to the ground. Face down, he's later handcuffed. The officers who restrained him are not seen providing medical care immediately after he's removed from the vehicle. The video also shows Orta being taken into custody.

At around minute 23, emergency responders are seen rendering care and checking Martinez's body for exit wounds. He was shot three times roughly two minutes earlier.

In a statement, Charles M. Stam and Alex Stamm, the lawyers representing Reyes, said the footage raises further questions about the official account of the March 2025 shooting.

"These new videos confirm that Ruben's car was barely moving when he was shot. That he was braking, not accelerating. That nobody was on the hood of his car. That nobody was in front of his car when he was shot. That he was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger," Stam and Stamm said.

The body camera also captured what appears to be an officer providing a preliminary briefing to the South Padre Island police chief at the scene about a half hour after the incident. In that exchange, the officer claims Martinez "stepped on it" and was "on top of the other agents in front" before being shot. He does not mention any officers being injured.

Orta said he and Martinez went to South Padre Island to celebrate Martinez's birthday, saying they hung out with friends and had food and drinks the night of the shooting. A toxicology screen taken after Martinez's death detected alcohol and marijuana in his system.

Asked about that screen in a recent interview, Stam, the family's lawyer, said Martinez "was never stopped on suspicion of public intoxication or driving under the influence or anything of that nature."

"It's important to bear in mind that when Ruben lost his life, his car was in park, and right after those three bullets came through the window and went into his chest from that ICE officer, Mr. Orta's statement, said that he said, 'I'm sorry, sir,' as his last words," Stam added. "This was not someone who posed a threat."

In the preliminary briefing caught on body camera footage, the South Padre Island officer alleges Martinez admitted to having alcohol in his vehicle.

Kenya Floods

George Seda, the police chief inNairobi, said some of the victims were drowned and others were electrocuted. He warned that the death toll may rise as search and rescue operations continue.

Kenya Airways said flights were disrupted, with some diverted to the coastal city of Mombasa, and that disruptions would continue for hours.

The military was deployed to assist emergency rescue services, and the local toll road operator waived fees for an elevated road.

The heavy rain began on Friday and continued overnight, submerging vehicles and forcing motorists in some areas to wade through hip-high water to reach higher ground.

Seda also said that more than 100 vehicles were damaged, with some overturning on the roadside and in parking bays.

Videos of flooded homes and overturned vehicles were shared on social media. Rescue teams pulled out bodies from vehicles that had been washed away.

PresidentWilliam Rutosaid a multiagency team had been deployed to support and relocate those in imminent danger to safer areas as rain continues in the country. He said the government would pay hospital bills for those affected and directed that relief food be distributed to affected families.

A military rescue unit was deployed overnight to support emergency services as Kenya Red Cross response units struggled to reach people in need.

Kenya Red Cross Secretary-General Ahmed Idris said search and rescue teams were working tirelessly to assist those stranded.

"We are severely limited by the traffic and the situation on what used to be roads. We are doing our best to reach those in need," he wrote on X.

Public Service Minister Geoffrey Ruku said he was coordinating national disaster preparedness, response, and recovery efforts. He urged Kenyans to be cautious and prioritize their safety.

Some residents blamed the flooding on clogged drainage systems, stating that city authorities ought to have prepared by ensuring there was functional drainage infrastructure ahead of the rainy season.

One resident, Aisha Bajaber, wrote on X: "The whole city is flooded yet again. How long will officials keep ignoring the lack of drainage?"

Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi said the government would ensure all blocked drainage systems are cleared.

"Nairobi remains a major regional hub and must be kept clean, safe and well-managed to reflect its standing in Africa," he said.

Kenya has faced heavy rains since late February, which marks the start of the long-rains season.

Previous rain seasons have seen flooding,landslidesand mudslides that have left hundreds of people dead and seen thousands of others displaced.
