Overview
- Crosby posted “STOP PEOPLE PLEASING. HANDLE BUSINESS ACCORDINGLY.” on Thursday, June 26, and that social post set off a fresh round of trade speculation among fans and media.
- The Las Vegas Raiders have not publicly said they plan to trade Crosby and continue to control timing and price for any deal.
- A March trade to the Baltimore Ravens collapsed after concerns in Crosby’s physical, making in-person medical clearance and full-contact availability the central barriers to any move.
- Analysts and ranking pieces put the San Francisco 49ers, Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles near the top of likely destinations, and Bears GM Ryan Poles confirmed Chicago “checked into” Crosby before stepping back.
- Crosby’s three-year, $106.5 million extension with about $91.5 million guaranteed and a roughly $35.8 million 2026 cap hit means acquiring teams would face major salary and draft-capital costs, so observers expect any trade to come after medical clarity or closer to the November deadline.
