The $106.5M All-Pro you're asking about is Maxx Crosby, the Raiders' star edge rusher. And yes — under new head coach Klint Kubiak, there's a real chance he gets traded, but it all hinges on his health.
Here's the situation:
The Raiders are rebuilding. Kubiak's focus is on developing rookie QB Fernando Mendoza (No. 1 overall pick), and the org views 2027+ as the competitive window. Trading a 29-year-old premium asset for draft capital fits that timeline (from the Las Vegas Raiders page).
A deal nearly happened already. A Baltimore trade collapsed in February after Crosby failed a physical. Since then, the Patriots and 49ers have emerged as the leading landing spots, with the 49ers holding $70M+ in cap space (from the Maxx Crosby page).
The key variable: his meniscus. Crosby tore his meniscus in Week 7 of 2025 and had surgery in January. He says he's "ahead of schedule" and aiming for full training camp participation. If he proves he's 100% in August, league interest could "spike again" — and the Raiders would be motivated to cash in on his value before it drops (same source).
What about Rob Leonard? Worth noting: Crosby's new DC, Rob Leonard, has coached him to Pro Bowls the last three years — so continuity is there. But the organization's multi-year rebuild strategy may outweigh that relationship.
Bottom line: If Crosby shows he's healthy in training camp, a trade before the deadline is very possible. If his health remains uncertain, he likely plays out the year in Vegas.
