After the Los Angeles Rams made their blockbuster trade for edge rusher Myles Garrett, there was a fresh round of calls for the San Francisco 49ers to trade for Maxx Crosby<\/a>. A deal still feels unlikely, but Crosby\u2019s comments on quarterback Brock Purdy are only going to add fuel to the fire.<\/p>\n

As part of the NFL Top 100 ranking, in which Purdy was ranked No. 85, Crosby shared some very kind words<\/a> about San Francisco\u2019s signal caller:<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody that gets in that Niners system, people find a way to discredit them just because of how good Kyle Shanahan is and they\u2019ve always had a lot of talent around him, but you\u2019ve seen Brock in his own right make some plays and do certain things that are not just system quarterback-type plays. He\u2019s one of the better young quarterbacks in the league, man. He\u2019s talented and you see that with how great that offense is able to operate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crosby refuting the whole \u201csystem quarterback\u201d narrative surrounding Purdy is only going to make fans want the Niners to trade for the edge rusher even more.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so telling that players, often even defensive players, have nothing but high praise for Purdy. Even Garrett gave Purdy some kind words after the 49ers and Cleveland Browns squared off last season.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s questionable whether the Las Vegas Raiders would entertain a trade with the 49ers, given how the two franchises feel about one another, but maybe at some point the Raiders would be open to it.<\/p>\n

A young 49ers fan recently tried to recruit Crosby<\/a> while getting a picture with him, and Crosby politely said that he couldn\u2019t while also saying, \u201cYou never know.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 49ers can afford to be patient on the Crosby front, though<\/a>. They should wait until midseason to make any sort of deal because there are legitimate concerns about Crosby\u2019s health that led to the trade between the Raiders and Baltimore Ravens falling apart earlier this offseason.<\/p>\n

Plus, the Niners do not know for sure if they\u2019re going to be a legitimate contender. They should be on paper, but it\u2019s not hard to imagine injuries swallowing them whole again and tanking their season.<\/p>\n

They should wait until they know for sure they are in the hunt for the playoffs, and maybe by then, the Raiders are having a bad year and are willing to trade him.<\/p>\n

Crosby going to the 49ers makes so much sense on paper, but it is going to take time for it to happen. Maybe he will be teammates with Purdy soon and can tell him how good of a quarterback he is in person.<\/p>\n
