The NFL offseason is heating up, and the latest trade buzz surrounds Maxx Crosby, the Las Vegas Raiders’ star pass rusher. The Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers have emerged as potential suitors, but they may face competition from the Los Angeles Chargers and Carolina Panthers.
Crosby has been teasing a potential trade request, citing difficulties with the Raiders. Despite the team’s recent hiring of head coach Pete Carroll, Crosby’s future in Las Vegas remains uncertain.
The Lions’ interest in Crosby stems from their need for a pass rush boost, particularly after Aidan Hutchinson’s season-ending injury in 2024. Meanwhile, the Packers could offer cornerback Jaire Alexander in return for Crosby, but the Raiders may demand more, including multiple first-round picks and a capable offensive player.
The Chargers and Panthers are also likely to intervene, with the Chargers potentially offering a trade package including wide receiver Quentin Johnston and multiple draft picks. The Panthers, meanwhile, could pair defensive veteran Jadeveon Clowney with running back Miles Sanders and wide receiver Adam Thielen in a package deal.
As the Raiders rebuild, they may be tempted by these offers, but it remains to be seen which team will ultimately land Crosby.
