Trade Market For Maxx Crosby Set To Intensify?

Per Jordan Schultz, teams in the trade market have “gotten the sense” the Raiders are more open to trading DE Maxx Crosby, and they believe it’s a situation that is only going to intensify.

Recently, it was reported teams thought Las Vegas’ asking price for Crosby was too high, but teams were willing to give up packages starting with a first-round pick. The Cowboys, Bears, Bills and Patriots have come up as teams who might be the most aggressive in pursuing the star pass rusher.

New Raiders HC Klint Kubiak said he wants Crosby back on the team and has had positive conversations with him recently. Spytek also said he expects Crosby back in 2026, but it seems like that could change if any teams meet their asking price.

Crosby, 28, is a former fourth-round pick of the Raiders back in 2019 out of Eastern Michigan University. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $3,302,264 contract that included a $782,264 signing bonus and was set to make a base salary of $850,000 when he signed a four-year, $98.98 million contract extension with over $53 million guaranteed. 

Crosby was due base salaries of $22.236 million and $18.84 million in the final two years of the deal when he signed a three-year, $106.5 million extension in March 2025.

In 2025, Crosby appeared in 15 games for the Raiders and recorded 73 tackles, 28 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, one interception, six pass defenses, and two forced fumbles.
