Trade rumors have been swirling around Las Vegas Raiders star edge rusher Maxx Crosby this offseason. NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported that the Raiders would require a package similar to the one the Dallas Cowboys gave up to acquire Micah Parsons in order to even consider trading Crosby. This price point puts the Cowboys, New England Patriots, and Seattle Seahawks as potential suitors for the Pro Bowler.

Why it matters

Crosby is one of the top pass rushers in the NFL, and acquiring him could significantly bolster the defense of any team looking to make a Super Bowl run. The high asking price reflects Crosby's immense value, and the Cowboys, Patriots, and Seahawks have the draft capital and cap space to potentially pull off a blockbuster trade.

The details

According to Schultz, the Raiders would need "somewhere along the lines of a Micah Parsons package" to trade Crosby, which included two first-round picks and lineman Kenny Clark from the Cowboys. While Crosby is a few years older than Parsons, he is still in the prime of his career and would be a game-changing addition for any team. The Cowboys, Patriots, and Seahawks have all been mentioned as potential landing spots due to their need for edge rush help and ability to meet the Raiders' high asking price.
