Overview
- On Sunday, June 21 multiple outlets publicly proposed concrete Eagles-Raiders packages for Crosby, including FanSided’s offer of a 2027 first, a 2028 second and Jalen Carter and an alternative pitch of Nolan Smith plus a 2028 first.
- The Eagles do not appear to be actively negotiating for Crosby and Jalen Carter remains unsigned to an extension, which makes Carter a possible but uncertain trade piece in public proposals.
- Crosby had meniscus surgery in January and a March trade to Baltimore was voided after concerns in his physical, so teams are insisting on in-person medical checks or full-contact availability before committing premium picks or players.
- Crosby’s three-year extension with significant guarantees and a heavy 2026 cap charge increases the financial and roster risk for any acquiring club and complicates immediate trade talks.
- Most analysts say a true blockbuster is most likely only after Crosby proves full-contact health in training camp or the season or if the Raiders explicitly shift into seller mode and trade a veteran for draft capital and younger contributors.
