Fox Sports NFL Sunday reporter Jay Glazer is claiming that Las Vegas Raiders EDGE Maxx Crosby will be traded this offseason. It’s a bombshell report. The Raiders are about to conduct a true rebuild with a rookie head coach and No. 1 overall pick quarterback Fernando Mendoza. It’s not totally shocking that a soon-to-be-29-year-old Crosby wants no part of a potentially lengthy rebuild.
The Raiders haven’t built a winner throughout Crosby’s tenure. Despite him developing into an elite pass rusher, the Raiders have compiled a record of 46-71 since Crosby was drafted in 2019. That certainly gets frustrating.

The Raiders should get a considerable haul back for Crosby. General manager John Spytek will command multiple draft picks in return. We’ve identified three potential landing spots for Crosby via trade.
At Super Bowl LX, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini claimed Crosby would love to play for New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel. The Patriots are entering this offseason equipped with more than $42 million in cap space. Rookie quarterback Drake Maye is on a team-friendly rookie contract for the foreseeable future, giving them flexibility.
The Washington Commanders were aggressive last offseason, acquiring talents like Laremy Tunsil and Deebo Samuel. It backfired when sophomore quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered recurring injuries, derailing their season. The Commanders will expect to get back on track in 2026 and head coach Dan Quinn needs a pass rusher who can swing momentum.

The Seattle Seahawks are in Super Bowl LX largely due to the defense they’ve built. A couple of their defensive lineman are slated for free agency, including EDGE Boye Mafe. Elsewhere at the position, DeMarcus Lawrence isn’t getting younger. Equipped with $73.2 million in cap space, it wouldn’t be shocking if they made an offer for Crosby.
