"Over the years, there have been plenty of big-name players that Patriots fans have put on their big board for the upcoming free agency, whether hoping the team will sign them or pull off a blockbuster trade to get them in the door. Besides receiver AJ Brown, which has only heated up more since Mike Vrabel became the head coach, the conversation has surrounded defensive end Maxx Crosby, who the Raiders might consider trading this upcoming offseason."
"Considering his impressive resume and how badly the Patriots need a pass rusher of his level, it's inevitable that trade rumors would connect them to Crosby. The problem, however, is that the Raiders have shut down all talk about possibly moving on, seemingly closing the door on New England making a move. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean a whole lot in professional sports, and anything can happen in the blink of an eye."
"I want to retire a Raider. There's no question about that. I love being a Raider. I feel like it's who I was born to be on. I feel like it fits exactly who I am. Mark (Davis) and the whole front office guys, I got a ton of love for them. Recently, he was a little upset with me about the whole deal that went down, but at the end of the day, that's any relatio"
Patriots fans have linked big-name free agents like AJ Brown and defensive end Maxx Crosby to New England as potential offseason targets. Crosby's pass-rushing ability matches a clear Patriots need, fueling trade speculation. The Raiders have publicly denied plans to move Crosby, and Crosby reiterated that he wants to remain with the Raiders and retire there, expressing loyalty to Mark Davis and the organization despite a recent disagreement. That confirmation reduces New England's realistic chances to acquire Crosby, though NFL trades can occur unexpectedly before the 2026 offseason.
