Former Detroit Lions offensive tackle Lomas Brown has renewed his call for the franchise to acquire Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby, according to a report published Thursday. Brown, a seven-time Pro Bowler who played 11 seasons in Detroit, has previously advocated for the Lions to add the three-time Pro Bowl pass rusher to their defensive front.
Crosby, 29, remains under contract with the Raiders through the 2026 season. He recorded 14.5 sacks in 2023 and has totaled 52 sacks since entering the league in 2019. The Lions, who reached the NFC Championship Game last season, have sought to bolster their pass rush alongside Aidan Hutchinson.
Las Vegas has shown no public indication it intends to trade Crosby, who serves as a team captain and defensive centerpiece. Any potential acquisition would require significant draft capital and a contract restructuring.
