In the ever-evolving world of NFL trades, the latest buzz surrounds Maxx Crosby and the Las Vegas Raiders. Initially, there was chatter about the Ravens acquiring Crosby in exchange for two first-round picks.
However, that deal fell through after Crosby didn't pass a team physical. Despite this hiccup, the Raiders are reportedly still open to listening to offers for their star pass-rusher.
Crosby, who initially requested a trade, has since pledged his commitment to the Raiders, the team that drafted him back in 2019. The Raiders, it seems, are also reevaluating their stance on his future with the team.
What’s the latest on Maxx Crosby’s trade situation?
According to NFL insider Mike Florio, the Raiders are currently telling other teams that Crosby won't be traded, especially after the failed deal with the Ravens. The buzz around the league suggests that no team is willing to meet the Raiders' asking price for the 28-year-old, particularly since he's still recovering from a meniscus repair and might not be cleared to play until "June or early July."
Is this the resolution the Raiders were hoping for with Maxx Crosby?
Florio points out that Crosby is under contract with the Raiders through a three-year, $106.5 million extension agreed upon last offseason. It seems likely that Crosby will remain in Vegas for at least another season.
The Raiders reportedly never wanted to trade him; it was Crosby who initially sought an exit. Now, with his public recommitment, it looks like he’s staying put.
The lingering question is whether Crosby could pass a physical with another team, casting doubt on any imminent trade possibilities.
For now, there’s no sign of a trade on the horizon, especially not until Crosby’s knee is fully healed. Meanwhile, the Raiders are gearing up for an improved season, bolstered by offseason additions. As the team looks to the future, all eyes are on the upcoming draft, where they’re poised to make a significant move with the first overall pick.
