Las Vegas Raiders minority owner Tom Brady was asked about the team's failed trade of pass rusher Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens, but he avoided directly answering the question. Brady instead spoke in general terms about his involvement with the Raiders and the challenges of building a successful NFL organization.
Why it matters
The collapse of the Crosby trade has been a major storyline for the Raiders this offseason, as it could have significant implications for the team's roster and future plans. Brady's reluctance to discuss the specifics suggests the Raiders may still be exploring trade options for Crosby, and they likely want to avoid drawing too much attention to the failed deal.
The details
When asked about the failed Crosby trade and his increased involvement with the Raiders, Brady only addressed the second part of the question, speaking broadly about the challenges of building a successful NFL team and the importance of resilience, adversity, and commitment across an entire organization. He did not provide any details or insight into the Crosby trade situation.
- On March 22, 2026, Tom Brady was asked about the failed Maxx Crosby trade while attending a flag football showcase in Los Angeles.

What they’re saying
“You know, I love being involved in the NFL. Like I said, I love football. I love sports. You know, I was very fortunate in my career to be around amazing people and mentors like Robert Kraft, as an owner of a team, and now getting to work with Mark Davis in the role that I'm at, and to see kind of a different team shape, the way that things are done and how we're evolving and growing, and, you know, we certainly have a long ways to go.”
— Tom Brady
What’s next
The Raiders will likely continue to explore trade options for Maxx Crosby, and Brady's involvement with the team's personnel decisions will continue to be a topic of interest as the 2026 NFL Draft approaches.
The takeaway
Tom Brady's reluctance to discuss the failed Maxx Crosby trade suggests the Raiders are still navigating the fallout and may be considering other trade options for the pass rusher. Brady's increased involvement with the team's operations highlights the complex dynamics of an NFL organization, where even minority owners can play a significant role in shaping the roster and strategy.
