A new trade report has surfaced linking the New York Giants with Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby, according to coverage from Heavy.com. The speculation comes as the Raiders' star pass rusher continues to be one of the NFL's most disruptive defensive players.
Crosby, who wears number 98 for Las Vegas, was photographed leaving the field at halftime during the Raiders' October 18, 2026 matchup against the Buffalo Bills at Allegiant Stadium. The 2026 season has seen Crosby maintain his elite production, making him a coveted asset should the Raiders consider moving him.
The Giants, seeking to bolster their defensive front, have been mentioned in connection with Crosby as they look to add a premier edge rusher to their roster. New York's front office has historically been aggressive in pursuing impact defenders, and Crosby's combination of size, speed, and technical refinement would address a significant need.
Neither the Giants nor the Raiders have officially commented on the trade speculation. Crosby remains under contract with Las Vegas, and any potential deal would likely require substantial draft capital and player compensation given his status as one of the league's top defensive ends.
