In his tweet, he put an &#8220;Eagle&#8221; emoji at the end of his post, and while that might not mean anything, it&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25277270-maxx-crosby-says-raiders-fans-deserve-better-after-team-drops-2-6-jags-loss\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">always fun to speculate<\/a> on what this means regarding his NFL future. Crosby became the subject of trade rumors last year when the Raiders had another disastrous season, but this might be the time for the team to let him go and recoup plenty of draft capital for their rebuild. The tweet alone could signal that he might join the Eagles as soon as this week, as he&#8217;s been linked to the former Super Bowl champions for several weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Originally selected in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, the former Eastern Michigan product continued to receive interest from plenty of teams over the past few days. After shutting down the Dallas Cowboys for a chance to get Crosby, the Raiders might have to cave in on the negotiation and send him to a team that gives them the best return investment. While it&#8217;s unlikely that Crosby is going anywhere, it shouldn&#8217;t be surprising if the Raiders shock the league as soon as the trade deadline nears, before 4 o&#8217;clock Eastern time. Here are three final teams that might be able to pull off the shocking move.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Raider Nation I Love Yall With Everything In My Heart &amp; Soul.

Jared Goff is playing his best football, and he has one of the best supporting casts on offense behind Jameson Williams, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. The Lions continue to face bad luck when it comes to having healthy secondary men, with the loss of Kerby Joseph and DJ Reed. Why not make up for it by pairing Crosby with Aidan Hutchinson to put the Lions in the Super Bowl conversation?<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_252248\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-252248\" style=\"width: 815px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-252248\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27379291-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"815\" height=\"543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27379291-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27379291-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27379291-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27379291-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27379291-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27379291-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27379291-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 815px) 100vw, 815px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-252248\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New England Patriots defensive end Milton Williams (97) celebrates sacking Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward (1) during the third quarter at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, Oct. 19, 2025.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>2.

San Francisco 49ers<\/h3>\n<p>This is probably the most logical destination for Crosby, being that the 49ers <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/mykel-williams-injury-937a238bd4d5024d87de4d496cdc8d97\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lost Mykel Williams<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/09\/24\/more-than-bad-luck-for-san-francisco-49ers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Nick Bosa<\/a> on defense. It&#8217;s a huge blow to the line, so many should expect the 49ers to make a strong offer for the Raiders in this situation. With the way Brock Purdy hasn&#8217;t been able to stay healthy, the 49ers might be the defensive team in the Super Bowl one day to win it, and that&#8217;ll only happen if they trade for Crosby to give them life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a latest tweet, NFL superstar is likely to be in a new uniform before the trade deadline and these three teams could make a strong push. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4795,"featured_media":253257,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36,24,17,5,6431,31],"tags":[8938,7467,7399,5855,7908,33272,7394,4445,7325],"class_list":["post-253256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-news","category-lions","category-raiders","category-patriots","category-nfl-teams","category-49ers","tag-aidan-hutchinson","tag-detroit-lions-news","tag-las-vegas-raiders-news","tag-maxx-crosby","tag-milton-williams","tag-mykel-williams","tag-new-england-patriots-news","tag-nick-bosa","tag-san-francisco-49ers-news"],"modified_by":"Anthony Palacios","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4795"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=253256"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253256\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":253260,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253256\/revisions\/253260"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/253257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=253256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=253256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=253256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
