It appears that Maxx Crosby has played his final snap for the Las Vegas Raiders.

Before the Raiders’ Week 17 home game against the New York Giants, stunning news emerged that Maxx Crosby walked out of the Raiders’ facility after a disagreement with the coaching staff.

The superstar defensive end was unhappy when the Raiders told him that they were shutting him down for the final two games of the year. More than a month later, and it appears the two sides are on the verge of splitting.

During an interview with Yahoo Sports, Fox Sports NFL insider Jay Glazer was asked if Crosby’s tenure with the Raiders is done. Glazer said, “I do,” adding that “no less than 20 teams” called him after he initially broke the news of Crosby leaving the team facility.

Glazer also opines that Crosby would get more in return than the Micah Parsons trade haul. The Green Bay Packers sent two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark to the Dallas Cowboys.

Jay Glazer added that Crosby isn’t keen on going through a rebuild. Presumably, he’ll want to be traded to an established Super Bowl contender.

The Detroit Lions immediately stand out as a logical destination. They don’t have much pass-rushing depth outside of Aidan Hutchinson and are built to win now. Their NFC North rivals, the Chicago Bears, could use an explosive game-changer like Crosby as well.

With additional draft picks from the Parsons trade, maybe Jerry Jones tries to make a move for Crosby? Would the New England Patriots or Buffalo Bills try to pry him away to shake up the AFC East arms race?

Bottom line: There are plenty of logical trade destinations for Maxx Crosby. The only certainty is that he won’t be back in Sin City next year.
