Best time to be in the NFL

On this episode of 3 & Out, we break down a massive move around the league as Maxx Crosby is traded to the Baltimore Ravens. How dangerous does Baltimore’s defense become with one of the NFL’s most relentless pass rushers, and what does this deal mean for the Las Vegas Raiders moving forward?

We also dive into what’s going on in Philadelphia as questions continue to swirl around the Eagles. What direction is the team heading, and what should fans be watching as the offseason unfolds?

Plus, we discuss Travis Kelce’s future in Kansas City. Could the legendary tight end be nearing the end of his career, or does he still have more left in the tank with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs?

And finally, we talk about why there has never been a better time to be in the NFL when it comes to contracts, as the salary cap continues to rise and players across the league cash in on record-setting deals.
