Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby has become a key figure regarding his probable trade. Recently, reporter Vinny Bonsignore suggested that the San Francisco 49ers should trade for Crosby. Still, Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox has a different take.

According to Knox, he sees a hypothetical 3 way trade featuring the Dallas Cowboys, Tennessee Titans, and Las Vegas Raiders.

As per Knox's logic, the Raiders would end up with the Cowboys' 2027 1st-round pick, the Cowboys’ 2027 5th-round pick, the Titans’ 2027 2nd-round pick, and Titans WR Elic Ayomanor.

In this scenario, the Cowboys would also be able to trade wide receiver George Pickens to the Titans. The Titans have Chimere Dike, who isn't a proven starter. Furthermore, veteran Calvin Ridley is likely to be cut or traded after a disappointing 2025 season

While still hypothetical, in the Bleacher Report article, Knox posed the hypothetical based on various realistic factors in the NFL market at the moment.

George Pickens brings much-needed stability with over 1,400 yards in 2025 that can really help the Titans.

As far as Crosby is concerned, he can fill the void that Micah Parsons left. Last year, he made 10 sacks and 73 tackles.

Crosby’s ability to convert pressures into sacks would bridge this gap. Crosby, however, is unbothered about all the conundrums surrounding him.

Maxx Crosby shares his views ahead of the season

The speculation regarding Max Crosby's impending trade started off with the Baltimore Ravens. He was set to join them early this year, but then something surprising happened. A failed medical saw the deal collapse.

Crosby recently sat down with the media on the Raiders network to address everything going on around him.

"Every year is a different journey," Crosby said. "There's no secret, it's been a different offseason to say the least. Honestly, it's been a blessing in disguise. I've had the chance to grow in a lot of ways. My former [defensive coordinator], Gus Bradley, used to talk about uncomfortability and growth."

Crosby dealt with a torn left meniscus. This led to the team keeping him from playing the final two games and placing him on injured reserve.

With the trade falling through, Crosby is, for the moment, stuck with the Raiders, working on his growth and improvement.

While Crosby's future hangs in the balance with a future NFL team, there is no shortage of confidence in him. Which team do you think will finally get to sign him up before the season commences?
