Seahawks Pursue Maxx Crosby Trade

0:00On March 5, Seattle Seahawks are emerging as a top-trade destination for Las Vegas Raiders' ed rusher Max Crosby. The 28-year-old star could fill a major gap on Seattle's defense where they're facing potential losses at the position with players like Boye Mayfe and Derek Hall hitting free agency soon and veteran DeMarcus Lawrence nearing the end. The deal might cost Seattle two first-round picks, like their number 32 selection in 2020-26, and a likely top 20 pick in 20. 27. Analysts say that trading those assets for Crosby would bring more immediate value than drafting unproven talent. There's already a connection between the teams, as the Raiders just hired Seattle's former offensive coordinator Clint Kubiak as their head coach. That relationship, plus new Seahawks coach Mike McDonald's defensive schemes, makes Crosby a seamless fit to boost their pass rush and run defense. These contract runs through 2029, with his biggest cap hit of about $35,791,000 in.

1:0420-26, then dropping off with no guarantees after that. At nearly 29, he's still elite and could thrive in Seattle for years. If the trade happens, Crosby would transform Seattle's front, giving McDonald the tools to dominate opponents and solidify the defense for the long, hall.
