Las Vegas Raiders star defensive end Maxx Crosby is the face of the franchise, so it’s no surprise that the team would command a high price if they traded him.

During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter revealed that the Raiders wouldn’t even consider a deal that included multiple first-round picks to trade Crosby.

“I believe earlier in the year there may have been a team that asked the team about Maxx Crosby and may have suggested one,” Schefter said. “I think they said, ‘Yeah, you start with several on that guy and we still wouldn’t even consider it.'”

The Raiders fell to 2-4 this season with Sunday’s 32-13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers and appear to be in the midst of a rebuilding year, so there has been speculation that they would be willing to ship off some of their veterans to start. . preparing for the future. Star receiver Davante Adams has been the subject of trade rumors in recent weeks and is expected to be moved before the Nov. 5 deadline.

However, Crosby has maintained his loyalty to the team that selected him in the fourth round of the 2019 draft. He has become one of the best pass rushers in the NFL during his time in Las Vegas, earning a selection to the Pro Bowl in each of the last three years.

“You know where I want to be,” Crosby said of the trade rumors earlier this month, per Paulo Gutierrez from ESPN. “You think I want to be somewhere else? No. I’ve got this shit tattooed on my body. I don’t want to go anywhere… it’s just funny. You have a lot of people who have a lot to say when they really don’t they know what’s going on.”

It appears Crosby is primed for the team’s rebuild, so it would be shocking if the Raiders find an offer that convinces them to trade him this year.
