Bay Area Trade Talk: Crosby's Value Quietly Divides Raiders and 49ers

As the NFL Combine approaches, the Raiders' interest in trading Maxx Crosby sparks debate over his value. Analysts differ: Tim Kawakami suggests a package of a first-round pick plus a future second for Crosby to join the 49ers, while others like ESPN’s Schefter and Ian Rapoport indicate the Raiders would demand a significant package—potentially a Micah Parsons-like price. Projections range from late first-round picks to multiple selections, but no deal is imminent and the Raiders appear reluctant to trade him without a substantial return.

Seahawks tap 49ers coach Brian Fleury to lead offense

Seattle hired San Francisco 49ers tight ends coach/run game coordinator Brian Fleury as its new offensive coordinator, replacing Klint Kubiak. Fleury brings TE development and run‑game expertise from seven seasons with the 49ers and prior NFL stops, and could help develop receivers like Elijah Arroyo and AJ Barner while supporting Seattle’s run game with Charbonnet and Walker III. Seattle finished third in scoring in 2025, and coach Mike Macdonald aims to maintain that offensive success.
