Because the Raiders-Ravens\u00a0Maxx Crosby\u00a0<\/strong>trade fell through, expectations have turned to Crosby remaining in Las Vegas. Interest from other suitors could after all emerge, nonetheless.<\/p>\n <\/a>One team to look at in that regard might be the Patriots. Recent England is open to creating notable trades deep into the 2026 offseason, Ben Volin of the Boston Globe confirms<\/a>. One such move might be an\u00a0A.J. Brown\u00a0<\/strong>trade, something a majority of PFR\u2019s readers imagine will indeed happen after June 1.<\/p>\n The Patriots remain the preferred presumed landing spot for Brown within the event he’s dealt from the Eagles. No matter what happens on that front, Volin points to Crosby\u00a0<\/strong>as a possible Recent England trade goal. A trade for 2 first-round picks was agreed to with Baltimore before a failed physical nixed the deal.<\/p>\n Concerns were raised in regards to the long-term health outlook of his surgically repaired knee, something which can little question lower the worth of any trade worked out in the long run. Especially given the discounted price of a future Crosby acquisition, Volin writes a Patriots pursuit wouldn’t come as a surprise. The Patriots got here up as a Crosby suitor before the Ravens reached their agreement.<\/p>\n Recent England managed just 35 sacks throughout the 2025 season, so upgrading the pass rush represented a transparent goal entering the brand new league 12 months. The team has not been busy through free agency thus far, though, and as expected\u00a0K\u2019Lavon Chaisson\u00a0<\/strong>departed on the open market. That leaves the sting as an area of need entering the draft for the reigning AFC champions. Acquiring Crosby \u2013 a Pro Bowler in each of the past five years, including the one full campaign by which Pats OC Josh McDaniels <\/strong>was Vegas\u2019 head coach\u00a0\u2013 will surely provide a lift within the pass rush department.<\/p>\n The 28-year-old is under contract through 2029. Crosby is owed $30MM in salary for the upcoming season, and his $29MM in base compensation for 2027 has already vested. A serious financial commitment would thus be needed for the Patriots or another team along with the draft capital to swing an agreement with Vegas. The Raiders have issued a stance against further trades in Crosby\u2019s case, however it stays to be seen if that may hold throughout the course of the offseason.<\/p>\n Recent England continues to be in a robust position with respect to cap space after entering the brand new league 12 months with loads of spending power. A part of the team\u2019s financial planning will obviously be depending on a Brown trade being finalized afterward, but it would be interesting to see if the Patriots also check in regarding a Crosby move.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Because the Raiders-Ravens\u00a0Maxx Crosby\u00a0trade fell through, expectations have turned to Crosby remaining in Las Vegas.
