NFL insider Ian Rapoport recently made an interesting note on Maxx Crosby, as he listed the Green Bay Packers as one of the top trade destinations for the Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher.
“While the hiring of Super Bowl winner Pete Carroll was a step toward stability, the Raiders still don’t have a franchise quarterback and have a ton of work to do to field a competitive roster,” Rapoport wrote in his column.
“Trading Crosby for a bounty of picks would be one way to expedite that process, and Crosby might welcome the change, particularly if it’s to a playoff team where he knows people (e.g. Green Bay). Crosby has two years and about $44 million remaining on the contract extension he signed in 2022,” he concluded.
The Green Bay Packers have been looking for a difference-maker on the defensive end, and Maxx Crosby could be that guy. Crosby has made his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl team after notching 45 total tackles, 7.5 sacks, and five passes defended in 12 regular season appearances.

Familiarity is a huge thing for players, and the Green Bay Packers can offer that for Maxx Crosby since he was teammates with Keisean Nixon and Josh Jacobs. Nixon is campaigning for a reunion with the 27-year-old Eastern Michigan product.
“@CrosbyMaxx Come Be Great Wit A Real Team My Boi…” Nixon posted on his X (formerly known as Twitter).
Nixon also wants former Green Bay Packers and Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams to join their wide receiver room next season.
