Crosby on the Trade Block as Raiders Pivot to a Rebuild

Maxx Crosby, the Raiders’ elite edge rusher, is reportedly open to a trade as Las Vegas pivots to a rebuild around a top-draft quarterback (Fernando Mendoza). After years of coaching churn, a tanking decision and growing friction with the organization, Crosby’s desire to play for a contender has become palpable and multiple teams have shown interest. The Raiders are aiming to accumulate draft capital, potentially matching or surpassing recent blockbuster deals for star pass rushers, with Crosby’s knee surgery adding complexity. The situation could stretch from the draft into next season as both sides weigh the best long-term path.
