Insider gives the latest on the Raiders and their star pass rusher, Maxx Crosby.

The Cincinnati Bengals‘ underperforming defensive unit is crying out for reinforcement, and the answer could be in Las Vegas. Defensive end Maxx Crosby is rumored to be on the trading market.

The franchise tag window opened Tuesday, and free agency starts next month. The 2025 season is done, but the NFL does not slow down. Attention has already shifted to trades, roster moves, and the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Las Vegas Raiders made a move during the regular season that confirmed they know what their most valuable asset is.

Crosby seized the moment to reshare a customized digital Valentine’s Day card created by the NFL’s official social media team. The graphic, which featured a pun on his first name - "I love you to the Maxx" - was part of a league-wide holiday campaign highlighting Pro Bowl players.

The Las Vegas Raiders are set to promote Rob Leonard from run game coordinator/defensive line coach to defensive coordinator, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

It's not surprising to see Maxx Crosby's name repeatedly pop up in mock trades this offseason. Is this the right framework for the Las Vegas Raiders?
