Overview
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter said the Raiders do not want to trade Maxx Crosby and would only even consider it for a Micah Parsons–level return.
- Head coach Klint Kubiak and owner Mark Davis publicly affirmed they want Crosby to remain in Las Vegas.
- Crosby’s hourlong podcast with Bears quarterback Caleb Williams highlighted mutual respect and has fueled Chicago-focused speculation, though a deal would require significant compensation.
- Reporting notes lingering frustration over Crosby’s late-2025 shutdown and indicates substantial fence-mending would be required for a long-term reset with the Raiders.
- Crosby is under contract through 2029 and has strong production, and while multiple teams are linked as suitors, insiders view a Parsons-equivalent package as unlikely.
