The Las Vegas Raiders' early-season promise has faded after a 3-0 start gave way to a four-game losing streak, fueling speculation that star pass rusher Maxx Crosby could be moved before the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline. According to a report from Jason La Canfora, several teams are weighing bids for the five-time Pro Bowler, with the asking price still believed to be two future first-round draft picks. The Raiders nearly traded Crosby in the offseason, and their current 3-4 record has renewed talk of a deal.
The Dallas Cowboys remain the most obvious suitor. They pursued Crosby in the offseason to fill the void left by Micah Parsons' departure, and Dallas is tied for the fewest sacks in the league (7) through seven weeks. The Cowboys lack extra first-round picks and hold only four selections in the 2027 draft, but owner Jerry Jones has a history of aggressive moves, especially with the NFC East wide open.
The Jacksonville Jaguars, sitting at 4-2, are viewed by some analysts as a dark-horse Super Bowl contender. They rank near the bottom in pass rush and could sweeten an offer with receiver Brian Thomas Jr. and additional Day 3 picks, potentially persuading the Raiders to lower the first-round pick requirement.
The Detroit Lions, also 4-2, were linked to Crosby in the offseason. Pairing him with Aidan Hutchinson would significantly upgrade a defense that remains a weakness despite a top-tier offense. With a championship window that may not stay open long, Detroit might be willing to part with two first-rounders.
The New York Giants have surprised at 4-2-1, leading the NFC East and ranking among the league leaders with 21 sacks. Yet recent reports indicate bolstering the defensive line is a priority. Adding Crosby to an improving unit could turn New York into a second-half contender, echoing the franchise's past championship formula of overwhelming quarterback pressure.
The Buffalo Bills, off to a 5-1 start, are again in the Super Bowl hunt but continue to struggle defensively, allowing 28 points per game. Crosby alone would not make the unit elite, but he could bring it closer to average — possibly enough to push Buffalo over the top for its first championship. The Bills may be desperate enough to surrender two first-round picks.
