Chicago Could Win the Maxx Crosby Trade
A massive trade is brewing in the NFL, and Chicago’s fans are buzzing. The Bears have set their sights on defensive end Maxx Crosby from the Raiders, and they are considered the best bet in many betting markets.
What It Would Cost
- Two first‑round picks
- One player
The Raiders have already outlined what they want, but Crosby himself has hinted he might be ready to move on. Even the Raiders’ own reports say they need a package worth their current star’s value.
Other Teams in the Mix
| Team | Likelihood |
|---|---|
| Rams | High |
| Cowboys | High |
| Bills | High |
| Ravens | High |
| Eagles | High |
| Patriots | Medium |
| Lions | Medium |
| Buccaneers | Low |
While the Rams, Cowboys, Bills, Ravens and Eagles all see a chance to grab Crosby, their odds are higher—meaning they’re less likely to succeed. The Patriots and Lions look even further down the list, while the Buccaneers also have a long shot.
Timeline
- Trade window opens: Next Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time
- Negotiations can start: Immediately
A deal could still happen before the official window if both sides agree on terms early.
Potential Impact
If Chicago pulls it off, the Bears would add a strong defender who can change games. The Raiders could shuffle their roster for the future. Whether this will happen remains a question of negotiation, timing, and willingness to part with valuable assets.
