How do the Carolina Panthers fix its pass rushing problems? Trading for one of the best in the league, Maxx Crosby, would certainly do it.
What would be the price?
Tyler Sullivan of CBS Sports believes it would take a first and second-round pick to get a deal across the finish line, which would be a much cheaper ask than what the Cowboys got for Micah Parsons, as he laid out.
“Crosby is one of the best pass rushers in the NFL, and we’ve seen that these types of elite talents can fetch quite a haul. Green Bay sent two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark in exchange for star pass rusher Micah Parsons last summer. Parsons was 26 at the time of the trade, and Crosby will be entering his age-29 season in 2026, so a possible return may come in just under what Dallas received. It’s worth noting that Crosby is signed through 2029, but only has $30 million left in guarantees remaining, which comes in 2026. That means an extension could also be on the horizon for teams looking to acquire him.”
Why it makes sense to go get the big fish
