Which teams are interested in Maxx Crosby?
The five time Pro Bowl defensive end Maxx Crosby has been linked to several rival teams ever since his trade to the Baltimore Ravens fell through.As per NFL insiders, it seems the Chicago Bears and the Philadelphia Eagles could be making a move for him.
What are insiders saying about the trade rumors?
A few hours ago, Cooper Kleinberg of PFSN noted, “Despite suffering a knee injury that kept him out of the final two contests of the season, Crosby still played at a near All-Pro level in 2025.
Notably, he recorded 10 sacks, 28 tackles for loss, and ranked fifth among edge rushers, according to PFN’s EDGE Impact Metric.”Cooper Kleinberg of PFSN added, “Once again, Las Vegas should look to capitalize. GM John Spytek may struggle to fetch the two first-round pick price tag he managed all the way back in March, but for the five-time Pro Bowler, the Raiders should still expect a relatively massive haul from a Super Bowl contender.
Potential Landing Spots: Bears, Cowboys, Eagles.”
Contract details and salary cap implications
For the Las Vegas Raiders, trading Maxx Crosby will immediately clear his $30 million base salary.This could lead the Las Vegas Raiders to save a whopping $25.7 million in immediate cap space even though the team would be hit with $5.3 million in dead cap hit.
How will the trade affect the teams?
For the Chicago bears, trading for Maxx Crosby is pretty affordable as he could be the elite pass rusher that the team needs.For the Philadelphia Eagles, trading for Maxx Crosby seems expensive until the team restructures current contracts.At this point in time, nothing has been confirmed yet as the star player Maxx Crosby remains with the Las Vegas Raiders and gears up for the new season on the field.
