US EditionMaxx Crosby trade rumors: NFL GM sheds light on Raiders' $106,500,000 star’s message to Tom Brady
Maxx Crosby is unwilling to play for the Raiders again due to frustration over a knee injury and a multi-year rebuild, prompting trade interest from at least 13 NFL teams.
- Updated February 9, 2026 — a report said Maxx Crosby reportedly told Raiders minority owner Tom Brady he would retire before playing for Las Vegas again.
- Crosby was upset that the Raiders shut him down for the final two games with a knee injury and resists the Raiders' planned rebuild as he will be 29 when next season begins.
- A Bleacher Report trade proposal suggests the Patriots could send Michael Onwenu and first-round picks, with Crosby's representatives informing other teams, including those with $42.7 million cap space.
- That creates an offseason impasse because Raiders owner Mark Davis reportedly loves Crosby and many within the league think the team may resist trading him for potential draft compensation of up to two first‑round picks.
- League sources say trade discussion has intensified, with Glazer stating `'Yeah, probably'` last week, and the Myles Garrett precedent could influence Crosby's trade prospects, including the 10th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
