Maxx Crosby could shockingly leave the Las Vegas Raiders for a divisional rival. The AFC West could be up for grabs if the Las Vegas Raiders assemble a competitive team, the Kansas City Chiefs bounce back, and the Denver Broncos and the Los Angeles Chargers build on last season.

It could be a hard-fought season in the division, but Crosby might give one of those teams the edge. According to Polymarket (via Dov Kleiman on X), the Broncos are the favorites to trade for Crosby ahead of the 2026 NFL season.

While it is hard to imagine the Raiders making this type of move to strengthen a divisional rival, with their best player, it’s interesting to see that not many options are off the table. However, the star defensive end has had enough of the rumors.

During an appearance on the “Let’s Go!” podcast with Jim Gray last week, Maxx Crosby didn’t hold back about all the rumors. He made it clear he wants to be healthy and spend time with his family.

“My focus has been on getting healthy because that’s all I can control right now,” Crosby said. “That’s all that matters to me is being with my daughters and being with my wife and taking care of myself. People are gonna have rumors.”

Crosby added that people tend to ask him whether he said this or that, noting that he can’t control what others say. He called out the media for “throwing gasoline on the fire” about his future.

He is reportedly on the radars of multiple teams. A report suggested the Lions would be his “first choice,” while Albert Breer reported that the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks belong to the list of teams trying to lure him away from Las Vegas.

As of now, he’s a Raider, but time will only tell.
