Maxx Crosby Trade Rumors Updated by NFL Insider, Raiders Star's Stance on Potential Deal Revealed

After the failed offseason trade that would have sent him to the Baltimore Ravens, Maxx Crosby has no interest in leaving the Las Vegas Raiders even though they will likely do their due diligence leading up to the Nov. 10 trade deadline.

Per The Ringer's Tom Pelissero , Crosby has "no desire" to leave Las Vegas and views the failed Ravens trade as a "sign" he is supposed to remain with the Raiders.

Despite Crosby's stance, Pelissero noted Raiders general manager John Spytek is "sure to get calls" from interested teams about the star defender that leaves "open the possibility of another blockbuster."

The Ravens originally agreed to send two first-round picks in 2026 and 2027 to Las Vegas for Crosby on March 6, but the deal was called off four days later when the Raiders announced Baltimore backed out.

Baltimore's medical staff reportedly did not pass Crosby on his physical coming off knee surgery in January to repair a torn meniscus and related issues to that part of his leg.

Any concerns about Crosby's ability have been unfounded so far this season. The 29-year-old has 16 quarterback hits, three tackles for loss and two sacks in seven starts.

Crosby is also playing at a high volume having been on the field for 87.5 percent of the Raiders' defensive snaps.

One big hurdle standing in the way of any trade is Crosby's salary and cap hit. Pelissero noted he is still owed roughly $18.3 million for the remainder of this season. His total cap hit for 2026 is $35.8 million.

Among current playoff contenders, the San Francisco 49ers, Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos are the only teams with at least $20 million in available cap space.

There is always a way to make the money work if a team wants to get a deal done, but it would likely require some financial maneuvering.

If the Raiders could find someone willing to offer a package similar to what they were planning on getting from Baltimore, it would seem to be difficult to pass up for a team that is starting to fall out of playoff contention coming off four straight losses after a surprise 3-0 start.
