The Athletic’s Mike Silver believes Maxx Crosby has “exhausted all efforts” with the Raiders.

It appears Crosby’s time with the Raiders has drawn to a close, with Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reporting Monday that Crosby could be traded out of Vegas this week. “Crosby hasn’t made a stink publicly, partly because of his deep affection for the Raiders’ fan base, but it’s clear that he has exhausted all efforts in Vegas,” Silver said. “He’s had a new boss every 12 seconds, with one winning season out of seven to show for it.” The Raiders, meanwhile “aren’t assuring [Crosby] they’ll accept the best offer they receive or solicit his input as to where he’d prefer to play” in 2026, Silver reports. It’s a tense situation that could extend beyond the NFL Draft and perhaps into the summer or even the regular season, he added. Crosby had 10 sacks and 12 QB hits over 15 games in 2025. He would be a major addition to any defense in search of a pass rushing upgrade.
