Texans GM Nick Caserio shut down trade rumors about QB C.J.

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.

Clippers center Ivica Zubac is drawing trade calls with the Indiana Pacers emerging as a prime suitor ahead of the trade deadline. Despite shipping James Harden to the Cavaliers, L.A. remains in the playoff race, and Zubac’s solid production keeps him attractive to teams needing frontcourt help. He’s under contract through 2027-28, so any move would be for more than a rental as a long-term asset for a new team.
