The Las Vegas Raiders' star player Maxx Crosby has been a regular name concerning trade rumors ever since his trade to the Baltimore Ravens failed in March. Amid all the mess, the Dallas Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills have emerged as potential landing spots for the star player.
Which teams are interested in Maxx Crosby?
Ever since Maxx Crosby's deal with the Baltimore Ravens fell apart at the last minute, a number of rival teams have been linked to him. As per NFL insiders, the Dallas Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills have emerged as potential landing spots for Maxx Crosby.
What are insiders saying about the trade rumors?
A few days ago, ESPN's Dan Graziano noted in a recent report, "That isn't a bad number for a player of Crosby's caliber, but he turns 29 in August, and it remains to be seen what he looks like coming off a knee injury that was bad enough to kill a trade."
ESPN's Dan Graziano added, "I wouldn't expect Crosby trade talk to heat up again until he gets on a field and shows he's healthy. And from everything I've been told, that could be in August or later. Crosby might stick with the Raiders all year at this point, but if he's going to get traded at all, we're probably looking at something in-season ahead of the deadline."
ESPN's Dan Graziano continued, "If a team such as the Cowboys, Bills, finds itself in contention and in need of an impact pass rusher, things could get interesting here again."
Contract details and salary cap implications
For the Las Vegas Raiders, trading Maxx Crosby will instantly clear up a whopping $30.69 million from the team's 2026 cap space. But the Las Vegas Raiders will also be hit with a minimal $5.1 million dead cap hit.
How could the trade impact the teams?
For the Buffalo Bills, Maxx Crosby could be an impactful addition to the team since he could be an elite pass rusher they need to finally take down Patrick Mahomes. But Maxx Crosby could be a bit too expensive for the team since the team has only $9.6 million in cap space.
For the Dallas Cowboys, Maxx Crosby could replace Micah Parsons and immediately fix their broken pass rush, but the team would have to restructure his deal.
