The Las Vegas Raiders could trade superstar edge defender Maxx Crosby less than one year after signing him to a contract extension. The big-name pass rusher reportedly stormed out of the team facility after the organization informed him he would not play the final two games of this lost season, as they didn’t want to risk injuring him towards the end of a lost season. Crosby obviously wants to play and has no interest in tanking for better draft picks, and this frustration could lead to a nasty divorce.
Crosby recently signed a massive extension, and, generally speaking, deals like this can complicate trade talks. However, this isn’t the case for the Raiders star defensive end. Underdog’s Hayden Winks notes that Crosby’s contract is “extremely tradeable,” and the mere $5 million in dead money has “both teams incentivized to move on.”
The Maxx Crosby Contract Is Easy For Raiders to Trade
Every single team in the league would love to have someone like Maxx Crosby on their roster, especially given his contract status. While he will be 29 next year, he’s made five straight Pro Bowls and is elite against both the run and the pass. While anyone could make a move for him, the following three teams make the most sense.
