Raiders’ Future With Maxx Crosby Gets Major Insider Update

By The Best News Network November 14, 2026

The Las Vegas Raiders continued forward with superstar pass rusher Maxx Crosby on the roster through the 2026 NFL trade deadline. Despite more swirling rumors, Crosby remains with the only franchise he has ever played for since being drafted in 2019.

Crosby was traded during the offseason. The Raiders agreed to a trade with the Baltimore Ravens that would have shipped Crosby out of town in exchange for two first-round picks. When all was said and done, the Ravens decided to pull out of the deal.

Following that decision from Baltimore, Crosby returned to Las Vegas. Both sides opted to move forward together.

While Crosby remains with the Raiders, there are many who don’t expect his reunion to be long-term. There are still trade rumors surrounding him for a reason. He remains a top potential trade candidate to watch heading into the 2027 NFL offseason.

Keeping all of that in mind, an NFL insider has offered a new update about Crosby’s future in Las Vegas.

Maxx Crosby’s Future With Raiders Gets Major Insider Update

According to NFL insider Jason La Canfora, one NFL general manager spoke out and said that he doesn’t think Crosby will finish out his current contract with the Raiders.

“He was effectively dealt last March,” La Canfora wrote. “That was a done deal to Baltimore as far as the Raiders were concerned. They aren’t going to get two first-round picks like the Ravens had on the table, but execs think they can get one, plus a day-two pick.”

La Canfora continued on, revealing the quote from the general manager.

“And with that defense still in deep disrepair, the Raiders are going to need to load up on potential young blue-chip players on that side of the ball. They are still going to be two offseasons away from competing. ‘I don’t think he plays out this contract there,’ one GM told me of Crosby in Vegas.”

So far this season in Las Vegas, Crosby has played in nine games. He has recorded 26 total tackles, four sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and a defended pass. Throughout his entire 119-game NFL career, he has totaled 465 tackles, 73.5 sacks, 12 forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, an interception, and 30 defended passes.

It will be interesting to see what the future has in store for Crosby and the Raiders. For now, there are many who still think a trade is on the horizon.
