"Maxx Crosby doesn't seem too happy in Las Vegas. Is he going to ask for one officially and ask out? Is that a guy? I can tell you, I know he wants to play for Mike Vrabel. He's told me before. Crosby, a five-time Pro Bowler who has recorded 69.5 career sacks since entering the NFL in 2019, had his eye on the Patriots."
"The Las Vegas Raiders are reportedly trading Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for two first-round draft picks, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Raiders are reportedly receiving the Ravens' No. 14 pick in next month's draft and their 2027 first-rounder."
"With the player under contract through 2029 and possessing a $35.8 million cap hit in 2026, New England would have financially been able to make a trade work. However, it seems unlikely that the Patriots would have been willing to match or best Baltimore's winning offer when it came to compensation."
Maxx Crosby, a five-time Pro Bowler with 69.5 career sacks, was traded from the Las Vegas Raiders to the Baltimore Ravens for the Ravens' No. 14 pick and their 2027 first-rounder. Despite months of speculation about a potential trade, the Patriots emerged as a possible destination after Crosby expressed interest in playing for Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel. The Cowboys also pursued Crosby, reportedly offering a first and second-round pick. While New England possessed the financial flexibility to accommodate a trade with Crosby's $35.8 million cap hit through 2029, the Patriots ultimately could not match Baltimore's compensation package, which included a higher draft pick than New England's No. 31 selection.
