The Las Vegas Raiders have already traded Max Crosby once. Some doubt they can do it again, especially not at the same price.
Still, even if the Raiders can't recoup two first-round picks for a trade for the five-time Pro Bowl pass-rusher, that doesn't mean the deal isn't completely off the table.
According to ESPN's NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, even if Crosby is committed to the Raiders, a trade is still possible, potentially closer to the 2026 NFL Draft.
Everyone feels like they're in a good position, Fowler said, but since they've already taken care of the business, they're open to that possibility, potentially, if the right offer comes along. "We're looking at the timelines here; it's going to be a little slower now, but you'll get closer to the draft, maybe trade offers heat up, or maybe even closer to the season. But right now, he's a Raider, and that's expected to be the case at least for a while."
Even after a failed physical, the Raiders should be able to get at least a first-round pick in exchange for Crosby. Still, finding the right fit is more difficult because most teams have already dedicated their money to other players and filled their needs with other pass-rushers. Still, that doesn't mean another contender can't emerge later.
