Overview

  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter said the Raiders do not want to trade Crosby and would require a Parsons-level package, with a first-rounder viewed as the minimum to start talks.
  • ESPN gathered hypothetical offers, including Dan Graziano’s proposal of George Pickens and a 2026 first to Las Vegas for Crosby and a 2026 second, plus packages featuring DJ Moore or Chris Godwin with high picks.
  • An ESPN pitch sending Crosby to the Chargers for only mid-to-late picks was panned across coverage as far below his market value.
  • Crosby announced he joined Leeds United’s ownership group, an off-field move that also creates an indirect tie to the 49ers, whose investment arm owns the Premier League club.
  • No trade has occurred, with current discussion remaining speculative as Las Vegas weighs roster needs tied to holding the No. 1 pick and widely discussed projections involving quarterback Fernando Mendoza.
