Las Vegas, Nevada – 3/11/2025
After the bitter loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Las Vegas Raiders’ season has nearly officially fallen into the abyss. With a dismal record and playoff chances almost at zero, disappointment is spreading throughout the silver-and-black locker room. But amid that storm, a larger shockwave is forming: defensive superstar Maxx Crosby is said to have made moves to leave the organization.
Crosby – the soul of the defense and the symbol of competition for the Raiders – was seen in a heavy mood after the Jacksonville loss. According to multiple internal sources, the team’s continued slump has led him to seriously consider his future. And with the trade deadline on 11/4 counting down by the hour, all signs indicate Crosby is ready to find a new landing spot to chase titles.
Leading the race, none other than the San Francisco 49ers. The NFC representative is in “win-now mode” and ready to create a historic deal. Sources say the 49ers have sent the Raiders a “blockbuster” offer with multiple first-round picks along with a quality defensive player, making it hard for Las Vegas to refuse – especially as they are heading toward a complete rebuild.
In Santa Clara, excitement is rising by the hour. Head coach Kyle Shanahan, when asked about the possibility of acquiring Crosby, did not deny it but revealed a message full of weight: “I’ve always admired guys like Maxx — he’s not just good, he has the heart of a warrior. At the 49ers, we always keep the door open for players like that. And if he wants to fight to win… he knows where to come.”
The statement caused the NFL community to explode. 49ers fans immediately “ignited,” while Raiders fans panicked about the possibility of losing their biggest star.
If the deal becomes reality, the 49ers will possess the most fearsome pass-rush duo in the NFL alongside Nick Bosa — opening the Super Bowl door brighter than ever. For the Raiders, it could be a big shock but necessary for the rebuilding journey.
The trade window closes in the blink of an eye. And as the countdown clock runs, everyone is waiting to see if the biggest explosion of this trade period will bear the name Maxx Crosby to San Francisco.
