The Las Vegas Raiders are going through many changes. The team has a new head coach named Klint Kubiak. General Manager John Spytek once said he wanted to keep the defensive end. However, the team is now entering an organizational reset. Because of this, the front office is open to offers for their best player.
The Dallas Cowboys are among the teams most interested in Crosby. They are watching the situation very closely. The Cowboys need a new star for their defense because they recently traded Micah Parsons. Even though Dallas wants Crosby, they are worried about the cost. The Raiders want a very high price for him.
The Baltimore Ravens are another team to watch in this situation. Baltimore wants to improve its defense after a difficult 2025 season. The Ravens might be more aggressive than the Cowboys in making an offer. NFL experts believe the Ravens are a serious contender to land the player.
Raiders set massive price for Maxx Crosby as trade rumors grow
The cost to get Crosby is very high. The Raiders want 2 first-round draft picks. They also want a high-level player in return for him. Some teams in the league think this price is too high. However, Maxx Crosby is a very productive player. In the 2025 season, he had 10 sacks and 73 total tackles. He also recorded 2 forced fumbles and 1 interception.
There is also some tension between Crosby and the Raiders. During the 2025 season, the team forced him to sit out the final 2 games. Crosby wanted to play, but the team shut him down. Many people believe the Raiders did this to lose games and get the number 1 overall draft pick. This decision hurt the relationship between the player and the team.
Crosby is currently under contract until 2029. His current salary is considered a good value compared to other top players. Any team that trades for him will have him for many years. The next few weeks will show if the Cowboys or Ravens will pay the price to get him.
