"According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Las Vegas Raiders could be open to trading defensive end Maxx Crosby, the franchise's number-three all-time leader in sacks. Making a deal this offseason for the four-time Pro Bowler, who recorded 73 tackles, 28 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, two forced fumbles, and an interception during the 2025 campaign, would undoubtedly help a New England Patriots defense that ranked tied for 22nd in sacks per game in 2025."
"Las Vegas shut down its five-time Pro Bowler last week against his wishes, and the relationship between the sides remains strained. It's a dramatic shift from just two months ago, when Crosby and Davis nixed any trade discussions ahead of the Nov. 4 deadline. Many believe Las Vegas will be open to moving its star pass rusher if the relationship remains at an impasse, allowing Crosby, who will turn 29 this summer, an opportunity to compete on a team built to win now."
The Las Vegas Raiders could be open to trading defensive end Maxx Crosby amid a strained relationship after the team shut him down against his wishes. Crosby compiled 73 tackles, 28 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception during the 2025 campaign. The New England Patriots ranked tied for 22nd in sacks per game in 2025 and would benefit from adding a proven pass rusher. Las Vegas is expected to seek a substantial return similar to the Micah Parsons trade, with projections suggesting most suitors would need to give up a pair of first-round picks plus complementary assets.
