Maxx Crosby Trade Next Team Odds: Vegas Reveals Top 10 Teams In The Mix
It’s officially one of the biggest offseason storylines in the NFL: Maxx Crosby’s future with the Las Vegas Raiders is trending toward a potential trade — and sportsbooks are already taking bets on where the Pro Bowl edge rusher will land in 2026.
Crosby, one of the league’s most disruptive defenders, has spent his entire NFL career in silver and black. But after a disappointing season in Las Vegas, coupled with ongoing trade rumors this offseason, bettors and front offices alike are circling his name.
According to DraftKings Sportsbook’s latest odds on Crosby’s next team, the market has opened with a variety of intriguing possibilities:
🏈 LV Raiders: +450
🏈 LA Rams: +500
🏈 DAL Cowboys: +500
🏈 PHI Eagles: +500
🏈 NE Patriots: +500
🏈 BAL Ravens: +550
🏈 CHI Bears: +650
🏈 BUF Bills: +650
🏈 DET Lions: +1200
🏈 TB Buccaneers: +1200
Those odds paint a fascinating picture: while the Raiders are still the favorite — perhaps signaling Vegas might ultimately keep its franchise cornerstone — there’s lots of belief in the betting market that a blockbuster deal could be coming.
Dallas, Philadelphia, New England, and even Baltimore all sit within the same tier (+500 to +550), suggesting they’re among the most likely landing spots if Las Vegas does decide to pull the trigger. The Bears and Bills also have respectable odds, while the Detroit Lions are long shots at +1200 — but not out of the conversation entirely. (Odds per DraftKings.)
Maxx Crosby Michigan Roots
Let’s be honest. The Raiders are going nowhere fast, and Crosby has at times made it clear that he is fed up and wants to move on. His connection to Michigan could make this a storybook trade if Detroit swoops in.
Born in Lapeer, Michigan, and a standout at Eastern Michigan before becoming a five-time Pro Bowler, Crosby has repeatedly spoken about his love for his home state and the dream of one day playing for the Lions. He also seems to think very highly of Lions HC Dan Campbell.
That narrative — hometown hero returns — would be irresistible for Lions fans. But it’s more than just nostalgia: Detroit’s roster has been ascending, and an elite pass rusher like Crosby could be the final piece in turning the Lions from contenders into true Super Bowl threats.
Could Detroit Actually Afford It? The Montgomery Move Matters
One wrinkle that could make a Detroit trade more feasible is the recent David Montgomery deal.
While the Lions moved Montgomery (and his contract) elsewhere, that kind of roster transaction begins to open up meaningful cap space — space that could be used to absorb Crosby’s considerable contract if Detroit were to send Las Vegas the draft capital the Raiders are likely to seek.
And let’s be honest. cap or no cap, Detroit – or any team that strikes a deal for Crosby – will have to give up a first and second round pick at the least. If I were the GM, I would tell the Raiders: take those picks and give us Crosby!
Even though Detroit is a long shot on the DraftKings board, the combination of Crosby’s Michigan ties, Detroit’s needs, and cap flexibility — aided by moves like Montgomery’s — makes the +1200 number a compelling underdog story.
