Commanders' dreams of landing five-time Pro Bowler have never felt more real

There are growing murmurs around media row at the Super Bowl about a five-time Pro Bowler who could be looking for a fresh challenge elsewhere."

"Things don't seem great between the Las Vegas Raiders and edge rusher Maxx Crosby. Shutting him down at the tail-end of the campaign when he clearly wanted to play didn't sit well, which immediately raised speculation about his future. Commanders fans are dreaming big after Maxx Crosby trade update With Klint Kubiak taking charge as head coach, and the team likely to pick quarterback Fernando Mendoza at No. 1 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, the rebuild has begun."

"Crosby has always been happy in Las Vegas, but this could be the tipping point between the prolific veteran and the franchise. Jay Glazer of FOX Sports was among those lending his weight to the claims that Crosby will be traded. He thought it would happen, and it would probably occur before the draft. The longtime insider also thought it might require a king's ransom to aid Las Vegas' plans for sustained growth under the new regime."
