We all know what Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby is worth. Quite a lot. We are a mere weeks from when the Raiders had multiple suitors for Crosby and ultimately agreed to send the Pro Bowl edge rusher to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for first-round picks in 2026 and 2027. The trade fell through due to alleged medical concerns.
According to Pro Football Focus’ John Kosko, Crosby is still the most valuable trade chip that the Raiders have on their roster.
“His value is easy to understand. Over the past four seasons, Crosby has accounted for 33% of the Raiders’ total sacks and 27% of their pressures. Even with a slight dip in production by his standards over the past two years, he still recorded twice as many sacks as the next closest defender, Tyree Wilson.”
Crosby would command a hefty price tag in a trade despite the Ravens backing out of their deal to acquire him. The former two-time second-team All-Pro honoree is a game-changer on defense. He led the league in tackles for loss in consecutive seasons from 2022-23. Crosby also recorded double-digit sacks for the fourth time in his career last season with 10.
Given the fact that he was the biggest name involved in trade rumors in the NFL this offseason prior to the botched deal, he is unquestionably the player that carries the most worth in the trade market for Las Vegas.
