Teams Intensify Interest in Maxx Crosby but Raiders Say No Deal Is Imminent

Insiders report the Eagles and 49ers are highly interested in Crosby while clubs insist they need medical proof or game availability before offering premium compensation.

Overview

  • Mid-June reporting identifies the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers as the most interested teams in acquiring Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby.
  • Crosby had an earlier trade to the Baltimore Ravens voided after the Ravens raised concerns in a physical and he has been rehabbing meniscus surgery since January.
  • Raiders insiders stress the team is not actively shopping Crosby and the player has not demanded a move, so no trade is considered imminent.
  • Crosby’s three-year extension signed in March 2025 carries large guarantees that make any acquiring club face significant salary and cap complications.
  • Most analysts and insiders expect teams to wait for in-person medical verification, Crosby’s return to full contact in training camp or early-season play, or the trade-deadline window before offering a first-round-level package.
