It\u2019s looking like the team is going to hire a young, offensive-minded head coach, which would likely mean a more methodical rebuild.<\/p>\n<p>That puts\u00a0Maxx Crosby\u2019s\u00a0future into question. He\u2019s the best player on the roster, but he\u2019s getting older. He wants to be part of a winner, but it might be two or three before the Raiders even have a chance at the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>That could lead to Crosby requesting a trade this offseason. There has been a lot of talk of contenders trading for him, but a former player floated a new team as a fit.<\/p>\n<p>Former\u00a0New Orleans Saints\u00a0All-Pro offensive tackle really wants to see his former team sell the farm to add Crosby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaxx Crosby is a monster,\u201d Armstead said on\u00a0\u201cThe Set\u201d podcast.\u00a0\u201cIf you get an opportunity to bring him to your franchise, he is a game-changer. And this is from experience. This is from studying this man and watching week after week him make plays. It looks like one vs. 11. It\u2019s a no-brainer to me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou keep these draft picks all you want. Cool. And then you can do a lot of great things with draft picks, but when you got a quarterback on his rookie deal, and that\u2019s the same situation, you have money to spend. And there\u2019s no better time than right now \u2026 We trade for Maxx Crosby, we\u2019re about to go win.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Would Crosby Want to Go to Saints?<\/h2>\n<p>If Crosby\u2019s going to get traded, he\u2019s going to want to go to a winner. The Saints haven\u2019t been to the playoffs since 2020. Now, they did show some signs of life under Kellen Moore.<\/p>\n<p>They finished 6-11 in 2025, and quarterback Tyler Shough is a promising young player. The Saints could be one good offseason away from being playoff contenders in the NFL\u2019s weakest division.<\/p>\n<p>That said, Crosby likely doesn\u2019t want to risk going to a team that hasn\u2019t been in the playoffs. The Raiders are going to do right by him if he gets traded, and should allow him to at least have some say in where he goes. The Saints aren\u2019t the worst landing spot, but they would almost certainly be lower on his list of teams he\u2019d want to play for.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Crosby Hasn\u2019t Requested a Trade<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s difficult to see the Raiders actually trading Crosby unless he directly asks for one. It remains to be seen if he\u2019ll be willing to take that step.<\/p>\n<p>Crosby is the face of the franchise and looms large in the Las Vegas community. It\u2019s a big move to have to uproot his life and play for a new franchise. Crosby hasn\u2019t addressed the trade speculation, so it\u2019s unclear where his head is at.<\/p>\n<p>He might be waiting to see what the Raiders do at head coach this offseason. If they hire a coach he likes, it\u2019s easy to see the two sides being able to smooth things over. For now, the trade speculation will continue.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty Las Vegas Raiders DE Maxx Crosby.
