Could Raiders still deal Maxx Crosby?

The Las Vegas Raiders and Maxx Crosby have had something of an offseason, and right now, things are a little in flux.

With the Baltimore Ravens walking back on their trade of Crosby after the star pass rusher failed his physical, Maxx has said all the right things since returning to Las Vegas, and for most, he's staying a Raider.

But there are rumors that if a team were to come calling again, the Raiders could listen. Personally, I think that door has been shut.

And so does Bleacher Report's Moe Moton, who, on his trade panic meter, has Maxx moving on at a 2 out of 10.

“According to ESPN's Ryan McFadden, the Ravens were concerned about a "degenerative issue" with Crosby's surgically-repaired knee,” Moton wrote. “Although Crosby seems recommitted to being a Raider after the trade flop, the Raiders may still be open for business if another team is willing to give up two first-rounders.

"Unless Crosby makes a miraculous full recovery within the next two weeks, he'll likely remain a Raider because of the team's steep demand for him."

Crosby likely to remain a Raider

Even if the Raiders wanted to move on from Crosby for draft capital, they definitely aren't getting the two first-rounders that the Ravens offered, thanks to Maxx's knee.

So, it feels like the best outcome for all involved is for Crosby to remain a Raider in 2026, so both can put the whole saga behind them.

Of course, if a team does offer two first-round picks, then the Raiders might listen, but for me, that won't be happening any time soon, especially after the Baltimore debacle.

So, while it looked like for a minute that Maxx was going to be a Raven, it now feels like he'll end his NFL career as a Raider.
