Las Vegas Raiders pass rusher Maxx Crosby has been at the center of trade rumors for the past few weeks despite the team’s best efforts. The four-time Pro Bowler is easily the best player on the team’s roster, and recent reports indicated the Raiders had no interest in trading their homegrown star. However, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio isn’t buying that and believes the pass rusher could be available for the right price.
“I don’t know that I believe [the report,]” Florio said. “I think he’s stuck, and he got paid, and you know, if they’re not going to trade him, it’s not useful for him to start making it known he doesn’t want to be there…I still don’t believe Crosby falls into that category of untouchable players. And I think a sufficient offer would potentially get their attention.”
Raiders News: Why the Maxx Crosby Trade Rumors Won’t Die
Even with Florio’s comments, it’s safe to assume the Raiders won’t trade Maxx Crosby. After all, the star pass rusher signed a massive three-year, $106.5 million extension in the offseason, and giving up on that deal after half a season would be strange. With that being said, Vegas is 2-5, out of the playoff picture, and could use all the draft picks they can get to rebuild this organization. If Crosby goes anywhere, it will likely be to one of these four contenders.
