Here\u2019s what he had to say:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">\u201cI am telling you there is a lot of interest in Maxx Crosby. Two teams, specifically, nuclear hot \u2014 the Eagles and the 49ers. I still believe there are two, maybe as many as three, other teams absolutely in play for Maxx.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Carpenter adds that neither Crosby nor Raiders management seem to be in a rush to get a deal done. But whereas last year Crosby was untouchable in the Raiders\u2019 eyes, he\u2019s now able to be had and teams are interested in him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Of course, this much we already know since Crosby was originally traded to the Baltimore Ravens earlier this year before the deal fell through due to a failed physical.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Still, it\u2019s interesting to hear the Eagles mentioned in connection to Crosby. It\u2019s certainly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bleedinggreennation.com\/news\/171934\/maxx-crosby-trade-rumors-eagles-now-in-the-mix\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">not the first time<\/a> it\u2019s happened.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The read here, however, is that Crosby to the Eagles is unlikely to happen. There\u2019s always the \u201cnever say never\u201d caveat with Howie Roseman involved. Perhaps the Raiders\u2019 star defender can be had for cheaper than expected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">But I tend to think the Eagles are satisfied with their edge rusher situation right now. They paid not an insignificant price to trade for Jonathan Greenard \u2026 before then extending his contract on a deal worth $30 million per year. The team is bullish on Jalyx Hunt, who could reasonably make another big leap in his development. Nolan Smith\u2019s long-term future is less than certain but the Eagles did pick up his fifth-year option for 2027. The Eagles paid real money to Arnold Ebiketie in free agency and they recently added A.J. Epenesa to the mix as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">All told, I don\u2019t see Crosby realistically fitting in. I think the Eagles would rather keep the pick(s) and money that would be attached to acquired him. Greenard was the Eagles\u2019 big splash at edge rusher. I think they\u2019re set there now, barring any injuries.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sbnation.com\/users\/VVGisj9lAF\/Brandon%20Lee%20Gowton\" class=\"_1tkg4tn7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"Brandon Lee Gowton\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"_1tkg4tn5 _8s7ip80\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bald-eagle_1_600x450.jpg\"\/><\/a><img alt=\"Bleeding Green Nation\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"_1tkg4tn4 _8s7ip80\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/logo-bleedinggreennation.png\"\/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bleedinggreennation.com\/post\/W2I20W3mhiwo\" class=\"kbjb0s3\" aria-label=\"View full post: Should the Eagles trade for Maxx Crosby?\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"_1mg4q2a1 _1mg4q2a0\">Should the Eagles trade for Maxx Crosby?<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t really see it happening.
