Maxx Crosby Trade Rumors Spur Speculation on Possible Move from Raiders

Defensive end Maxx Crosby, a five‑time Pro Bowler for the Las Vegas Raiders, posted a cryptic message on X after the offseason trade that sent him to Baltimore was rescinded because of medical concerns. He said the episode was “water under the bridge” and expressed excitement about being in Las Vegas.

A Bleacher Report pitch imagines a three‑team deal that would trade Crosby to the Dallas Cowboys, sending wide receiver George Pickens to the Tennessee Titans. The proposal also includes draft picks and players moving among the Raiders, Cowboys and Titans.

ESPN analysts note that Crosby could become an in‑season trade candidate, with teams such as the Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears or New England Patriots potentially interested if he proves healthy. The Raiders, under new head coach Klint Kubiak and rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza, begin the season on Sept. 13 against the Miami Dolphins; the trade deadline is Nov. 3.
