<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhy almost? The Las Vegas Raiders had \u201calmost\u201d traded their star edge defender, Maxx Crosby<\/a>, to the Baltimore Ravens this offseason.But it was canceled due to a failed physical. This does not stop Crosby from wanting out.He is at his prime and, like Myles Garrett, hungry for a Super Bowl. And so, an analyst predicts Crosby\u2019s trade request is not that far.According to Bleacher Report\u2019s Gary Davenport, Maxx Crosby could make a big splash with a trade request to the San Francisco 49ers.\u201cCrosby may not be publicly demanding a trade yet, but he wouldn\u2019t be annoyed if he wound up in, say, San Francisco.And that demand may yet come, especially if the Raiders struggle in 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n As for what Crosby felt about the 2026 trade that almost happened with the Baltimore Ravens.\u201cIt\u2019s water under the bridge,\u201d Crosby said. \u201cIt\u2019s a long time ago. A lot of things I learned about what\u2019s going on and what this league can bring.A lot of adversity, a lot of different things you can\u2019t really anticipate. But I\u2019ve been through a lot in my life. It\u2019s nothing to me.I\u2019m here, and I want to be here, and I\u2019m excited to be here. I\u2019ve got a lot of work to do.Everyone knows my love and appreciation for this organization. That will never change. [The trade is] part of the business.There are a lot of other things that don\u2019t need to be discussed, but ultimately, I\u2019m exactly where I want to be.\u201dEven if he says there are no hard feelings, \u201cit doesn\u2019t mean there aren\u2019t any,\u201d according to Bleacher Report\u2019s Gary Davenport.He will turn 29 this August. And he knows that the Las Vegas Raiders are away at least a year or two from contending for Super Bowl.His time is running out. He may want out. And so, multiple contenders could use Crosby\u2019s services.He recorded 73 combined tackles [45 solo], 10.0 sacks, 6 passes defended, 2 forced fumbles, and 1 career-first interception in 15 games alone in 2025.As per Bleacher Report\u2019s Gary Davenport, Crosby is the most valuable trade chip for the Las Vegas Raiders.He is heavily linked to the Brock Purdy-led San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n According to Bleacher Report\u2019s Brad Gagnon, the San Francisco 49ers could trade for Maxx Crosby in training camp.The San Francisco situation is slow with both edge rushers Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams recovering from torn ACLs.Bosa could start Week 1, but \u201cwho knows how much of a factor he can be,\u201d Brad Gagnon wrote. As for Williams, he is still questionable.But according to The Sporting News\u2019 Horace Shivers, Mykel Williams\u2019 recovery has progressed ahead of schedule.Niners general manager John Lynch said during the offseason that Williams would participate in training camp in some capacity.Rookie minicamp reports suggest he is working through mobility and resistance drills as he recovers from his knee surgery.The Niners are counting on Williams to re-energize San Francisco\u2019s pass rush that was plagued by injuries in the 2025 season.But as per Bleacher Report\u2019s Brad Gagnon, Williams\u2019 questionable status makes it necessary for the Niners to look for a desperate veteran team with a win-now mode.And that veteran team could be formed by bringing in Maxx Crosby.They have not signed Joey Bosa yet, Nick Bosa\u2019s older brother, but they could bring in another veteran who is still at his prime, someone like Crosby.It makes total sense to trade Crosby to an NFC team that \u201cis ready and trying to win now, needs edge help, and happens to be located in the same region in which Crosby started his NFL career,\u201d as per Brad Gagnon.<\/p>\nSan Francisco 49ers projected edge Maxx Crosby talks about Baltimore Ravens trade reversal <\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
