Overview
- ESPN solicited hypothetical offers from multiple writers, with proposals from the Bears (DJ Moore plus picks), Cowboys (George Pickens and a first for Crosby and a second), Buccaneers (Chris Godwin plus a first and a 2027 second) and a widely panned Chargers package of only Day 2 and 3 picks.
- Adam Schefter said the Raiders do not want to trade Crosby and would require at least a first-round pick, framing any deal as closer to a Micah Parsons–type return than a routine swap.
- A Las Vegas Review-Journal column emphasized the team’s leverage heading into the NFL Combine, noting the Raiders can listen to offers but should only move Crosby for a top-tier haul.
- Crosby announced he has joined the ownership group of Leeds United, a Premier League club owned by 49ers Enterprises, creating an off-field link that outlets note is unlikely to dictate his NFL future.
- Trade chatter traces to Crosby’s late-season meniscus shutdown and reported frustration, yet there is no confirmed trade request or agreement as teams evaluate options on the Combine-to-draft timetable.
