It seems that Las Vegas Raiders star pass rusher Maxx Crosby is this year's pick to click. Crosby-related trade rumors date back to the fall, but those were squashed when it was made clear that the five-time Pro Bowler did not want to leave Vegas. However, things have changed since the dust settled on the 2025 NFL Trade Deadline."

"Maxx Crosby trade rumors began picking up in late December when the Raiders wanted to shut their star down as the race for the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft came down to the wire. Crosby didn't seem to take too kindly to that, which put his future with the team in question. And with NFL insider Jay Glazer hinting at Crosby's time with the Raiders possibly coming to an end soon, more trade rumors figure to pop up here, there, and everywhere."
