If thing’s keep going south for the Las Vegas Raiders, they could possibly look to unload some of their talent.
Sitting at 1-3, they are tied for last place in the AFC West … Needless to say, their Monday Night Football game against the Green Bay Packers is a virtual must-win.
One of the Raiders best players is pass-rusher Maxx Crosby. He’s one of the most underrated players in the league. Yes, he gets plenty of attention, but he’s one of those guys that not everyone realizes just how truly special he is.
You hate to see him wasting away on a losing team … Again, the Raiders still have time to turn their season around – but the clock is ticking…
"My goodness, he is wasting away in Las Vegas"

According to NFL Analysis Network’s Matthew Schmidt, the Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly considering a massive trade proposal to acquire Crosby from Vegas.
The defending NFC champions remain undefeated at 4-0 despite not playing their best football so far this season … That’s a pretty good situation to be in.
Schmidt recently floated a trade proposal, outlining the potential benefits for both teams involved.
Crosby still has two years remaining on his contract, with the Raiders owing him over $47 million during that time.
Schmidt suggested: “For a team that may need to do some roster retooling in the offseason, Crosby’s contract could end up being a deterrent. The Eagles could offer the Raiders a 2024 first-round draft pick as well as a third-rounder, providing Las Vegas with some ripe draft assets while also allowing the Raiders to shed some salary.”
The 26-year-old Pro Bowler is about to enter his prime and the Raiders have to decide what direction they want to go in.
Clearly, they would love to compete with the team they have, but so far it isn’t working … There’s begun to be plenty of chirping coming from the locker room, led by Davante Adams and Josh Jacobs.
Crosby has already made his mark in the NFL, amassing an impressive 39.5 sacks in 69 career games. Last season, he posted a career-high 12.5 sacks, showcasing his skills as one of the league’s elite pass-rushers.
Damn…shit hurt cuz it's facts

What do you think about this rumor?
Clearly, any team would love to have Crosby … Should the Raiders even consider trading him?
Or should Crosby be a keeper and build-around piece for Vegas?
