There’s been some chatter this week concerning the Philadelphia Eagles doubtlessly making a commerce for Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby.
The thrill comes from Hondo Carpenter, who covers the Raiders for Sports activities Illustrated. Right here’s what he needed to say:
“I am telling you there is a lot of interest in Maxx Crosby. Two teams, specifically, nuclear hot — the Eagles and the 49ers. I still believe there are two, maybe as many as three, other teams absolutely in play for Maxx.
Carpenter adds that neither Crosby nor Raiders management seem to be in a rush to get a deal done. But whereas last year Crosby was untouchable in the Raiders’ eyes, he’s now able to be had and teams are interested in him.
Of course, this much we already know since Crosby was originally traded to the Baltimore Ravens earlier this year before the deal fell through due to a failed physical.
Still, it’s interesting to hear the Eagles mentioned in connection to Crosby. It’s certainly not the first time it’s happened.
The read here, however, is that Crosby to the Eagles is unlikely to happen. There’s always the “never say never” caveat with Howie Roseman concerned. Maybe the Raiders’ star defender will be had for cheaper than anticipated.
However I are inclined to suppose the Eagles are glad with their edge rusher state of affairs proper now. They paid not an insignificant worth to commerce for Jonathan Greenard … earlier than then extending his contract on a deal price $30 million per 12 months. The workforce is bullish on Jalyx Hunt, who may moderately make one other massive leap in his improvement. Nolan Smith’s long-term future is lower than sure however the Eagles did choose up his fifth-year choice for 2027. The Eagles paid actual cash to Arnold Ebiketie in free company they usually just lately added A.J. Epenesa to the combo as nicely.
All instructed, I don’t see Crosby realistically becoming in. I believe the Eagles would fairly preserve the choose(s) and cash that will be connected to acquired him. Greenard was the Eagles’ massive splash at edge rusher. I believe they’re set there now, barring any accidents.
Ought to the Eagles commerce for Maxx Crosby?
I do not actually see it occurring. What say you?
