The Raiders indicate Maxx Crosby is not available.

  • Projections cited from The Athletic place top-edge contracts near $100 million over four years.
  • Estimates of New England’s cap space vary from roughly $40 million to more than $50 million, affecting how aggressively it can bid.
  • Raiders GM John Spytek said Las Vegas is not looking to trade Maxx Crosby, as separate reports mention a potential asking price of at least two first-round picks.
