A $94 million superstar has been sent to Philadelphia by the Eagles and Raiders trade proposal.
The 2024 season hasn’t gone as planned for the Las Vegas Raiders, who are currently 2
-5 and last in the AFC West. There is little hope for Antonio Pierce’s team for the remainder of the season after they have dropped three straight games and four of their past five.
The Raiders may try to offload some of their seasoned assets before the Nov. 5 trade deadline, as their dismal season continues to deteriorate. In dire need of a makeover, Las Vegas should concentrate on hoarding draft picks.
Despite being the franchise’s face and a fan favorite, superstar edge rusher Maxx Crosby may wind up being one of those guys available. Owner Mark Davis has mocked the idea of trading Crosby, who has stated his wish to stay in Las Vegas, but if a historic offer is made, the Raiders may still end up dealing the veteran.
Jacob Robinson and Dianna Russini of The Athletic have put together an intriguing trade package that would send the three-time Pro Bowl player to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2025 first, fourth, and fifth-round pick as well as a 2026 second-round pick. It is unlikely that Crosby will play elsewhere.
This is an underwhelming return for the Raiders in a projected Crosby trade, as the franchise would only receive two top-100 picks in the deal.
General manager Tom Telesco’s asking price for the two-time second-team All-Pro selection should start at a first and second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and a few more top-100 picks in future drafts.
The Eagles’ pass rush has been sporadic this season, as edge rusher Bryce Huff hasn’t lived up to expectations, and 15-year veteran Brandon Graham isn’t the same player he used to be.
Trading for Crosby would be an exceptional move from general manager Howie Roseman, as the former Eastern Michigan standout has established himself as one of the most dominant players in the league over the last few seasons and would immediately revive Philadelphia’s vacant pass rush.
This would be a fantastic deal for the Eagles but horrid for the Raiders. Las Vegas wouldn’t maximize its most valuable trade asset and lose a fan favorite, while Philadelphia would acquire a future Hall of Famer in the middle of his prime and instantly solve its most pressing need.
