Overview
- Dianna Russini reported that people around the league believe Las Vegas may be open to a Crosby trade in the offseason if the current strain with the star pass rusher is not resolved.
- Crosby was placed on season-ending injured reserve on Dec. 27 and is expected to undergo knee surgery after he vehemently disagreed with the shutdown and briefly left the facility, per Jay Glazer.
- Local commentary criticized Crosby’s social posts of light activity while sidelined, adding to the optics of tension following the late-season decision.
- An unnamed executive told Fox Sports the Raiders will probably not trade Crosby but could command compensation comparable to the Micah Parsons deal if they did.
- Potential scenarios cited by analysts include 49ers interest tempered by cost concerns, a Cowboys package involving a first-round pick and Osa Odighizuwa, and a Bears concept featuring DJ Moore plus at least one first-round pick.
