There has been a lot of talk about Max Crosby wanting a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders this offseason. Some reports have already claimed the 28-year-old doesn’t ever want to play another snap for the Raiders.
It’s hard to know if that’s true, but there’s enough smoke coming out of Crosby’s ears to believe it. After all, he was reportedly criticized by the team for ruling him out of the final two games due to injury, even though he was adamant that he wanted to play. Some people believe that those enclosures have not been repaired yet.
Just recently, Crosby poured a full tank of gas on Raiders trade rumors involving himself by praising Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams during a one-on-one meeting with the young QB for Crosby’s podcast.
“Just be open and honest, brother, like we talked about before, but respect on a different level, brother. You’re definitely one of those guys, and you’re just starting out. I don’t even know that you understand yet how good you can be, and that’s the scariest part. You know what I mean? Just keep that mentality, keep doing what you’re doing. You know we’re locked in forever. So do your thing. Stay, brother. Hit me any time you need me. It backfires.”
From Max Crosby to Caleb Williams
Of course, this might mean nothing, except for the fact that Crosby clearly has a lot of respect for the former No. 1 overall pick. Still, there’s enough for fans to speculate on a potential Crosby trade with the Bears this offseason.
Plus, the Bears could definitely boost their pass-rush department after allowing the fourth-fewest sacks in the NFL in 2025. They have also shown a willingness to be aggressive in upgrading the roster, notably trading for All-Pro guard Joe Thuney last offseason.
Would the Bears be willing to make a strong offer further for Crosby? If so, they’ll likely have to be prepared to give up their first-round pick (No. 25 overall) and then some.
