The Los Angeles Rams are in a great spot heading into the 2026 NFL offseason. While they could use some more help in the secondary, Matthew Stafford is coming back for one more year.
There's no time like the present for the Rams, as they should go all-in for the 2026 NFL season in what could be Stafford's last year in the NFL.
With such plans in mind, it's no wonder that Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer is reporting the Rams, among a slew of other teams, are keeping tabs on 69.5 sack pass rusher from the Las Vegas Raiders, Maxx Crosby.
Rams 'keeping tabs' on Maxx Crosby trade talks
"I'd lean toward a Maxx Crosby trade happening, and maybe this week," Breer writes. "... with teams like Dallas, Chicago, Baltimore, Buffalo, New England, Philadelphia, and the Rams keeping tabs on his availability."
Crosby is in the middle of a $106 million contract that runs through the 2029 season. He's not a cheap player by any means, but he's a fantastic pass rusher.
In his NFL career, which spans seven seasons, Crosby has 69.5 sacks (10 in 2025) to go with 439 tackles (73), 133 tackles for loss (28), and 164 quarterback hits (20).
He's a five-time Pro Bowler and was the 2019 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year runner-up. Crosby is 28 years old and one of the best pass rushers in the NFL.

If the Rams wanted to create the best pass-rusher room in the NFL, adding Crosby would be a good way to do so.
Pairing him with Jared Verse and Byron Young would be incredible, not to mention the quality depth, and interior DL-play as well.
This report from Breer, that a Crosby trade could happen soon, and that the Rams are one of the landing spots as they're "keeping tabs" on Crosby, makes this a very fun possible trade for the Rams this offseason.
