The NFL trade deadline has passed, and speculation around Maxx Crosby's future with the Las Vegas Raiders continues. While the Detroit Lions were rumored to be interested in acquiring him to fill the void left by an injured Aidan Hutchinson, the team denied any trade discussions.
Crosby, who signed a lucrative four-year contract extension in 2022, has been a standout player this season with impressive stats. Despite the Raiders' struggles, the team's owner is reluctant to trade him.
Other potential suitors like the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers could have benefited from Crosby's talent as they vie for playoff spots. The Eagles lack a strong edge rusher, while the Packers could have bolstered their defense alongside existing players.
