Overview
- A league executive told Fox Sports' Eric Williams the Raiders will probably not trade Crosby, despite ongoing speculation.
- The 49ers have been flagged by multiple outlets as a logical landing spot given their pass‑rush needs, though no talks have been confirmed.
- Tim Kawakami reports team decision-makers favor a younger, cheaper roster and remain wary after the pricey Javon Hargrave move.
- Crosby was placed on season-ending injured reserve with a knee issue, vehemently disagreed with the shutdown per Jay Glazer, and is expected to undergo surgery.
- Any acquisition would require absorbing a deal reported at about $35.5 million annually through 2029 and paying heavy draft compensation, with one comparison pointing to the Micah Parsons trade haul.
