Time has not done anything to heal the rift between Maxx Crosby and the Las Vegas Raiders that developed at the end of the regular season when the team opted to place him on injured reserve for their final two games. <\/p>\n
Per The Athletic’s Dianna Russini<\/a>, the feeling among coaches and executives around the NFL is that Crosby “would be highly interested in pursuing a change of scenery” in the offseason. <\/p>\n Russini noted there is a “strong sense” within the league that the Raiders would be willing to trade the five-time Pro Bowler at a “high” cost to an acquiring team. <\/p>\n Per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler<\/a>, Crosby hasn’t formally requested a trade at this point, but his “priority” is to play for a contending team and it’s possible “up to” 20 clubs could get involved in trade discussions if he becomes available:<\/p>\n “In fact, I believe more than a dozen teams, possibly up to 20, will at least inquire with levels of serious intent. And there are some natural would-be contenders, including the Bills, Lions, 49ers, Cowboys and Ravens. One team that typically doesn’t jump in these high-stakes waters but would be perfect to try: the Buccaneers. This is the type of move that would put Tampa Bay over the top.”<\/p>\n The Raiders put Crosby on season-ending IR on Dec. 27 due to a knee injury. It did not appear to be a mutual decision, as NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported<\/a> at the time that the club informed Crosby he wouldn’t be playing in Week 17 even though he had been pushing to finish out the season. <\/p>\n Per Jay Glaze<\/a>r of Fox Sports, Crosby was “not happy” with the move and he had been playing through an injured knee since Week 3. <\/p>\n Appearing on Yahoo Sports’ Daily on Wednesday, Glazer said he thinks Crosby has played his last game for the Raiders, but it might “more” than what the Dallas Cowboys got for Micah Parsons to get the 28-year-old out of Vegas. <\/p>\n Crosby responded to the trade rumors on The Herd with Colin Cowherd by not specifically addressing them, rather letting his “actions” speak for him. <\/p>\n The Parsons trade<\/a> cost the Green Bay Packers a package of Kenny Clark and two first-round draft picks, plus they gave him a four-year, $188 million extension. <\/p>\n Parsons was 26 at the time of the trade, while Crosby will turn 29 on Aug. 22. Any team looking to acquire Crosby presumably won’t have to extend him since he is under contract through 2029 after signing a three-year, $106.5 million<\/a> deal last offseason. <\/p>\n Crosby is a potential difference-making pass-rusher for any team in need of help off the edge. Since entering the NFL in 2019, he ranks first<\/a> in tackles for loss (133) and sixth<\/a> in sacks (69.5). <\/p>\n The Raiders could also set up their future roster foundation with a potential Crosby trade. They already own the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL draft and could presumably add at least two more premium picks to their cache if they were to move him. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Time has not done anything to heal the rift between Maxx Crosby and the Las Vegas Raiders that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":464887,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-464886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=464886"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464886\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/464887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=464886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=464886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=464886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
