Maxx Crosby Trade Momentum Builds as Insiders Say Raiders Star Wants Out

Insider reports point to a pre-draft move following last season’s shutdown dispute.

Overview

  • Fox SportsJay Glazer told Yahoo Sports that Crosby informed him he wants to be traded, and he believes the edge rusher has likely played his last snap for Las Vegas with strong league interest already in place.
  • Glazer said roughly 20 teams reached out the day Crosby was shut down late in 2025, adding that a deal could materialize before the draft.
  • The late-season rift traces to the Raiders placing Crosby on injured reserve for a meniscus issue, a decision he strongly opposed before leaving team facilities.
  • Price projections vary, with Glazer suggesting a return exceeding the Micah Parsons trade while NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport floated the possibility of a late first-rounder as a workable starting point.
  • Potential destinations repeatedly mentioned include the Lions, Patriots, Bears, 49ers and Cowboys, with The Athletic’s Dianna Russini saying Crosby has expressed interest in playing for Mike Vrabel; Las Vegas could clear about $30.7 million by moving him before June 1 under his three-year, $106.5 million extension.
