Overview
- Citing recent conversations, FOX Sports' Jay Glazer said Crosby told him he wants to be traded and predicted a move would likely happen before the draft.
- The late‑season rift stemmed from Las Vegas placing Crosby on injured reserve with a meniscus issue for the final two games, a decision he opposed and left the facility over.
- The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reported Crosby has expressed a desire to play for Mike Vrabel in New England, while Glazer noted that at least 20 teams inquired after the shutdown news.
- Glazer estimated a return exceeding the Micah Parsons package, with multiple first‑round picks possible given Crosby’s five Pro Bowls and 2025 line of 10.0 sacks and 28 tackles for loss.
- Crosby is under contract through 2029 with near‑term guarantees that ease a trade, though there is no official public trade request or completed deal at this time.
