Buying and selling Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens was a league-altering transfer, and so was getting him again. The Ravens shut down the deal over alleged issues about his knee damage. Provided that he did not need to be traded within the first place, he fortunately agreed to return … for now.
In accordance with Raiders insider Hondo Carpenter, who broke the information that he can be on the commerce block final offseason, this saga may not be over.
The 49ers and Eagles are attempting to commerce for Maxx Crosby
“I do know there are a number of followers who, after the season, once we talked about it, mocked me, bought mad, and even had folks threaten me,” Carpenter said on the “Las Vegas Raiders Insider” podcast. “Then, bam, you noticed him get traded to Baltimore. Okay, I’m telling you there’s a number of curiosity in Maxx Crosby. Two groups particularly are nuclear sizzling: the Eagles and the 49ers.”
This checks. The 49ers now have Myles Garrett within the division, and life was already powerful with the Seattle Seahawks there. As for the Eagles, in addition they tried to commerce for Garrett, in order that they now have to do an influence transfer to make up for lacking out on the Defensive Participant of the 12 months.
After all, as Carpenter additionally identified, that does not essentially imply he’ll be traded or that the Raiders need to transfer on from him, however that will not cease different groups from attempting.
And if the Raiders battle proper out of the gate, which is a robust chance, even with a brand new quarterback and training employees, maybe they could need to revisit buying and selling Crosby.
