Maxx Crosby is believed to be ahead of schedule in his recovery from knee surgery in January but is he in the Raiders\u2019 long-term plans after the team nearly traded him in March? <\/p>\n

To date, every public indication is that Crosby, who turns 29 in August, is in a better place with the Raiders than he was at the end of the season. <\/p>\n

League insider Jason La Canfora said he was told by an NFL GM that the \u201cship had sailed\u201d on Crosby potentially being traded and the All-Pro edge rusher believes he is in line for a \u201cmonster season.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the Ravens scuttling a blockbuster trade for All-Pro edge defender\u00a0Maxx Crosby\u00a0at the start of the offseason amid health concerns, the Raiders continue to be pleased with the gains Crosby is making after a knee procedure, and expectations remain very high for his 2026 season,\u201d league insider Jason La Canfora reported last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cCrosby is working out on his own and not taking part in Las Vegas\u2019s offseason practices, but league sources said he continues to throw himself into his recovery and make significant strides,\u201d La Canfora continued. <\/p>\n

\u201cCrosby has told friends around the league he is as fired up as ever to have a monster season in the public fallout of the Ravens bailing on an agreed-upon trade, and he was never going to be fully cleared for football activities in time for the start of May Organized Team Activity practices.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCrosby originally requested the trade after the Raiders opted not to play him late last season, as they essentially tanked for the highest draft pick possible.\u00a0However, he recommitted to the team after the Ravens trade fell apart, and multiple general managers over the last few weeks have said that in their minds, Crosby is going to be a Raider in 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Have the sides REALLY mended fences or is everyone making the best of the situation after Crosby\u2019s trade value crashed in March? <\/p>\n

Raider Nation Radio host Q Myers said in April<\/a> he believes Crosby\u2019s value will spike again at the trade deadline, and not everyone is convinced Crosby and the team are as gratified as they have been letting on.<\/p>\n

For better or worse, the Raiders are in rebuild mode and Crosby\u2019s career window isn\u2019t growing. Additionally, there is no guarantee his knee issues aren\u2019t going to become chronic. <\/p>\n

\u201cI talked to one doctor who\u2019s very heavy into the injury data who said meniscus repairs have a 50 percent failure rate after one year, 80 percent failure rate after four years based upon their data,\u201d NFL Network\u2019s Tom Pelissero reported in March<\/a>. \u201cThat doesn\u2019t mean the knee falls apart. It\u2019s not like a failed ACL reconstruction, but basically it means you\u2019re going to have less healthy cartilage in your knee. Your body cannot generate new healthy cartilage.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are scenarios where Crosby will stay with the Raiders beyond the November 4 trade deadline, but the more likely scenario is that the Raiders will see what they can get for Crosby before the deadline and take the best offer they can get.<\/p>\n

And for now, let\u2019s go on record saying the Rams and Bears should be considered the two most likely candidates to pick him up in a trade. <\/p>\n
