Eagles and 49ers target Raiders' pass rusher Maxx Crosby

The Las Vegas Raiders' defensive end Maxx Crosby remains a top trade target despite his public statements that he wants to stay in Las Vegas. Earlier this offseason a deal with the Baltimore Ravens collapsed after medical concerns, prompting other contenders to reassess his market value.

Raiders insiders report that both the Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers have "nuclear hot" interest in acquiring Crosby. The Eagles could mobilize 2027 and 2028 first‑round draft picks and possibly linebacker Jalen Carter or other defensive assets such as Nolan Smith or Jalyx Hunt to meet the Raiders' price, which is expected to be high after the Ravens' offer of two first‑rounders fell through. The 49ers would likely pair Crosby with Nick Bosa to create an elite pass‑rush tandem.

Crosby has consistently reiterated his commitment to the Raiders, and the team appears equally reluctant to move him, yet the heightened interest from NFC rivals keeps the trade narrative alive throughout the offseason.
