## 2026 Outlook

Maxx Crosby has been the focal point of the Raiders' defense, serving as the team's pass rush anchor with trademark intensity and relentless motor. Trade speculation centered on potential moves to the NFC North dissipated after a failed physical halted a deal to Baltimore in February. He remains a five-time consecutive Pro Bowl selection (fifth in 2025) with 10.0 sacks and 28 tackles for loss — second-most in the NFL. Now enters 2026 under new defensive coordinator Rob Leonard, who has a track record of developing elite edge rushers. Leonard spent the last three seasons with Crosby and coached him to Pro Bowl selections in 2023-2025. (per Rob Leonard named Raiders Defensive Coordinator)

Trade speculation could resurface in-season if Crosby demonstrates he's fully healthy in August. ESPNinsider Dan Graziano identified Patriots, Cowboys, Bills, and Bears as potential fits ahead of the trade deadline, but noted that "Crosby might stick with the Raiders all year at this point" depending on his health status (per NFL Trade Rumors: Insider Names Patriots Among Four Possible Fits For Maxx Crosby Again).
