Maxx Crosby, Raiders' star DE, may be traded amid frustration over injury handling and team struggles, with Patriots linked as potential suitors.

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby, a five-time Pro Bowler and franchise cornerstone, may be traded amid reports of frustration over the team’s long-term struggles and how his 2025 knee injury was handled. Sources indicate Crosby, who has expressed interest in joining the New England Patriots under head coach Mike Vrabel, may be open to a move despite previously opposing a trade. The Raiders, holding the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, could receive significant draft capital, potentially exceeding the return for Micah Parsons. While no official trade request has been made, widespread interest from other teams and Crosby’s high value as a pass rusher suggest a deal could be imminent, signaling a full rebuild.
