Raiders pass rusher Maxx Crosby recently dropped a snippet of a new song on his Instagram, and some of the lyrics about the Bay Area and Golden State Warriors stars have sparked trade speculation among 49ers fans. Crosby has been at the center of trade rumors since the end of the NFL season, and the Raiders are reportedly seeking at least two first-round picks and a premium player in exchange for the five-time Pro Bowler.

Why it matters

The 49ers are always looking to bolster their defense, and Crosby would be a major addition if they could pull off a trade. However, the Raiders' high asking price could make a deal difficult, and other teams like the Bears are also rumored to be interested in Crosby's services.

The details

In Crosby's latest song, he rapped about buying a new house in Las Vegas and then mentioned 'We done touched down in the Bay, shooters like Steph and Klay,' which has 49ers fans speculating that he could be hinting at a move to San Francisco. Crosby has been making music since high school, but the lyrics about the Bay Area are notable given the recent trade rumors surrounding the Raiders star.

  • Crosby dropped a snippet of the new song this week on his Instagram Stories.
  • NFL insider Jay Glazer reported earlier this month that he felt Crosby's time with the Raiders was over.
