Quick Summary

Adam Schefter, an NFL insider for ESPN, discusses trade rumors involving Las Vegas Raiders' star edge rusher Maxx Crosby on "The Pat McAfee Show." Schefter notes that while the Raiders initially resisted trading Crosby due to his strong stance against it earlier this year, they are unlikely to receive comparable compensation now. With the team currently at 3-4 and in a decent position, Schefter suggests the Raiders will hold onto Crosby, who is crucial to their franchise identity, rather than trade him away despite ongoing fan concerns about potential deals.

Story summary

As of October 26, 2026, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter revealed an "issue" with trade rumors involving the Las Vegas Raiders' star edge rusher Maxx Crosby. Originally, in March, the Baltimore Ravens were set to acquire Crosby in exchange for two first-round draft picks but backed out due to health concerns about Crosby. Now, as the NFL trade deadline approaches, Schefter suggests a trade is unlikely because Crosby means so much to the Raiders' franchise and the team would not want to sell off its heart and soul. The Raiders are currently 3-4 in the season, making them cautious about trading one of their key players.
