The Las Vegas Raiders are reportedly open to trading star edge rusher Maxx Crosby and we now know what the team's asking price is.
According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, there is indeed a price that would get Crosby out of Las Vegas and it's what the Dallas Cowboys got for Micah Parsons: a pair of first-round picks and a player.
Florio goes on to speculate that the player would likely be a starting-caliber one, much like the Cowboys got from the Green Bay Packers in Kenny Clark.
"Will the Raiders trade defensive end Maxx Crosby? Yes, if they get what they want for him," Florio reported. "Per a league source, the Raiders are looking for two first-round picks and a player for the 28-year-old edge rusher."
The quality of player the Raiders want wasn’t specified. Presumably, it’s a starting-caliber contributor," Florio added.
Before you scoff at such a return, bear in mind that a ton of teams are going to be competing for Crosby's services, so it's not outlandish to think Las Vegas will get what they're looking for, or something close to it.
We would suspect that the Seattle Seahawks, Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears are all taking note of this, as all three teams could be suitors for Crosby.
The Seahawks could lose valuable depth with Boye Mafe being a pending free agent, and Seattle really doesn't have that top-notch edge rusher to anchor their pass-rush.
Detroit might need a running mate for Aidan Hutchinson if Al-Quadin Muhammad leaves in free agency, which is quite possible given he is likely to cost more after a career year in 2025.
Chicago has multiple question marks at edge rusher and no sure solution opposite Montez Sweat. Dayo Odeyingbo was disappointing last season before suffering an Achilles injury, and Austin Booker is a good depth piece but not a quality starter.
