Speculation persists that the Las Vegas Raiders may end up trading star defensive end Maxx Crosby this offseason.

The top contenders for Crosby:
Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens
These are serious contenders who have shown a willingness to go for it in the past. Watch out for Dallas here. They have resources and Jerry Jones is a known massive fan of Crosby’s.
Keep an eye on:
Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears, Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Crosby has Michigan ties, so the Lions could be a nice fit and whenever there is trade talk, Philadelphia general manager Howie Roseman is lurking nearby. The Rams have picks and Crosby be a good fit there as well.

Don’t discount:
Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers, Washington Commanders
The Bengals could be a fit if they let Trey Hendrickson walk in free agency and Patrick Graham will surely vouch for Crosby with his new bosses in Pittsburgh.
Conclusion:
The heavy interest in Crosby will only help the Raiders get a big package in return. There could be a bidding war which could make the tough decision to part ways with Crosby easier to justify.
