Four teams that could still opt to pull off a significant move at edge rusher this offseason are the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears.
The Cowboys entered the offseason needing two edge rushers, and while they did add Rashan Gary in a trade, more help is still needed, especially after seeing Gary disappear in the back half of 2025.
In Philadelphia, the Eagles haven't made any significant moves along the edge. The future of Brandon Graham remains up in the air and Jaelan Phillips is now with the Carolina Panthers.
The Bears have one side of their edge rush group set with Montez Sweat, but the need opposite him remains, which is troublesome for a team with Super Bowl aspirations.
Maxx Crosby trade rumor
If these three teams were still eyeing a trade for Las Vegas Raiders star edge rusher Maxx Crosby, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero has bad news for them.
Pelissero said on "The Rich Eisen Show" that while teams still have an interest in trading for the five-time Pro Bowler, it doesn't look like he's available.
"My understanding is when teams have been checking on this, they have been told the same thing that (Maxx Crosby) told everyone from Mark Davis to John Spytek to Klint Kubiak to Rob Leonard, which is Maxx wants to be a Raider," he said.
"There are teams right now that would trade for Maxx Crosby," Pelissero added. "It could happen tomorrow. But Maxx is no longer of the mindset that he wants out. Maxx is of the opposite mindset which is, he is now a Raider again.
"He is going to do everything he can to be a part of the Raiders. Does that change? I don't get that sense."
Now, this is obviously bad news for potential suitors like the Bears, Cowboys and Eagles, but that doesn't mean things can't change.
If the Raiders are bad once again in 2026, it's conceivable Crosby changes his tune again and decides he wants out, in which case the Raiders would likely oblige his request, whether that be at the trade deadline or next offseason.
But we don't see the Raiders changing their asking price of two first-round picks, so we wouldn't expect any team to get a discount from the price the Baltimore Ravens paid before they pulled out of the trade due to a failed physical.
