What happened: A Yahoo NFL mailbag takes up what the Las Vegas Raiders' "best case" scenario would look like in a potential Maxx Crosby trade. The question comes as the team fields fan inquiries about the star edge rusher's future heading into the 2026 season.

Why it matters: Crosby is the anchor of the Raiders' defensive front, so any move would reshape the unit and Las Vegas's outlook for the season ahead. The framing follows the Maxx Crosby trade market that reopened around the Raiders, Eagles and 49ers, even as Crosby has said he wants to stay in Las Vegas.

What to watch: Watch whether the Raiders entertain offers this offseason or signal a commitment to keep Crosby through the 2026 season.
