What happened: CBS Sports published trade projections outlining a proposal that sends edge rusher Maxx Crosby to the Cleveland Browns. The projection arrives on the eve of the NFL's Nov. 10 trade deadline.
Why it matters: Cleveland sits at 5-4 through nine games in 2026 and enters the deadline on a two-game skid, holding the AFC's eighth seed. Crosby has logged 26 tackles and four sacks this season, and he previously stated he expects to remain in place through the deadline.
By the numbers: Crosby has 26 tackles and 4 sacks in 2026 through 9 games. Cleveland is 5-4 through 9 games, sitting eighth in the AFC with a two-game losing streak.
