While the Maxx Crosby trade rumors won’t go away, it seems like many Las Vegas Raiders fans wish they would.
The speculation surrrounding the star defensive end continue even after the March agreed upon trade of Crosby at the Baltimore Ravens was nixed by the Ravens, the Crosby trade speculation hasn’t dead. In fact, it has recently ramped up.

Recently, reporter Vinny Bonsignore, who has covered the Raiders closely, proposed that the San Francisco 49ers should trade for Crosby as a response to their NFC West rival, the Los Angeles Rams recently acquiring star pass-rusher Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns.
Bonsignore’s piece was opinion-based. But he wrote that their is interest in Crosby around the league and the Raiders would still likely consider dealing him if the price was right.
Bonsignore wrote that the belief around the league is a 49ers-Raiders trade could look like this: Crosby for a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick and second-year pass-rusher Mykel Williams, who was the No. 11 overall pick in the 2025 draft.
This compensation package would surpass the value that the Raiders were to receiver for Crosby from the Ravens. That package was 2026 and 2027 first-round picks. The value of Williams, who is still 21, would push this trade value past the Baltimore package.

We asked our community members of they would make the Bonsignore-proposed trade. Most of our poll takers were not interested in the deal. I get it. The Crosby trade fatigue is real.
Here are some of your responses:

I think I’d do it. Mykel Williams has a high floor as a run defender, but doesn’t have great sack nor pressure production last season nor in college. The first and second round picks allow us to nab two young starters and continue improving the team. Maxx brings a lot to our team; elite edge play, swagger, leadership. But his production is declining and I don’t think his knees will hold up.

Nothing’s written in stone that Maxx is going to be a Raider for life. If he is great!. If not?. Life goes on. I’ve seen a few of my boyhood heroes get traded to other teams. Stabler, Casper, and Tatum. Later Marcus Allen didn’t finish his career as Raider. Khalil Mack is more than likely going to end up in the HOF; we got 4 years of record breaking football out him, so again; life will go on.

If it would’ve been the Rams trade that Cle got then yes because J.Verse has been a really good NFL player. Can M.Williams say the same?
