Maxx Crosby Trade Speculation Engages Multiple NFL Teams as Raiders Evaluate Options

Five‑time Pro Bowler Maxx Crosby remains with the Las Vegas Raiders after a previously agreed trade with the Baltimore Ravens collapsed when the player failed a physical. The Raiders are now fielding trade proposals as the offseason progresses.

One scenario floated by Dallas Cowboys insider Bryan Broaddus pairs the Raiders' edge rusher with a $27 million breakout wide receiver, George Pickens, in a hypothetical mid‑season deal. In addition, analysts highlight three clubs that could pursue Crosby before training camp: the Chicago Bears, who lack a dominant pass rush; the Philadelphia Eagles, who have a strong defensive core; and the Dallas Cowboys, who have draft capital and a potent offense. Any move would reshape the Raiders’ defensive strategy and could influence the teams’ competitive outlook for the 2026 season.
