Maxx Crosby Is Back in Las Vegas but Trade Talk Could Return Near November Deadline

Adam Schefter says a midseason trade is likely only if the Raiders start poorly and Crosby continues to play at an elite level.

Overview

  • Reporting on Wednesday showed Crosby has returned to the Raiders and says he is “all in” and wants to be a “Raider for life.”
  • An earlier offseason deal that would have sent Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens was voided after he failed a medical in Maryland, which kept him in Las Vegas.
  • Adam Schefter told listeners that trade discussions could resurface as the league approaches the first-week-of-November trade deadline if the Raiders begin the season 1-5 or 2-6.
  • The Chicago Bears were named by coverage as a natural suitor because Crosby has publicly praised Bears quarterback Caleb Williams and teams in need of a pass rusher will be watching closely.
  • How the Raiders start the season will determine Crosby’s market: strong early wins make a trade unlikely while losses could turn him into a high-value deadline target and reshape contending rosters.
