“He’s Done” Raiders’ Maxx Crosby Expected To Leave Team Following Bombshell Video (Report)

February 3, 2026 — Las Vegas Raiders star defensive end Maxx Crosby is seeing reports surface that his time with the organization is coming to an end.  The bombshell news has ignited speculation on where the All-Pro pass rusher might end up.

The NFL trade rumor mill is heating up with shocking news about one of the league’s top defensive ends. According to Fox NFL insider Jay Glazer, Maxx Crosby‘s time with the Las Vegas Raiders is “most likely DONE,” as revealed in a recent report shared by Yahoo Sports on February 4, 2026.

Glazer dropped the bombshell during a segment, stating that the day Crosby’s situation became public, “20 teams called” him inquiring about the five-time Pro Bowler. The insider emphasized Crosby’s value, asking, “What kind of haul would the five-time Pro Bowler get in the trade market? 🤔”

Why the Raiders Might Trade Maxx Crosby

The Raiders finished 3-14 in 2025, missing the playoffs for the fourth straight year. Trading Crosby could net a massive haul — possibly multiple first-round picks, young talent, and cap relief. His 2026 cap hit is $35 million, making him attractive for contenders but expensive for rebuilders.

Glazer didn’t specify details but noted the high interest: “The day it happened, 20 teams called me.”

Fan Reactions on X: Shock, Anger, and Trade Speculation

The report exploded on X (formerly Twitter), with Raiders fans in disbelief and rivals excited:

  • @smokeyluna07: “Every year this man says the same stuff and it never happens lmao”
  • @DustyDPeters: “How many times has this been predicted?”
  • @aguatemalanguy: “Why would 20 teams call Jay Glazer lol”
  • @RCR_R8R: “”The day it happened, 20 teams called me” 🤣 He’s not a GM or agent and so that’s tampering. 🤷‍♂️”
  • @chiefflips: “Ah yes, Jay Glazer, who I turn to for Raiders news 🙄”
  • @JohnWJames3rd: “Clickbait.”
  • @CAnativedude: “Hey is this guy any good”
  • @DortNowitzki: “Well if it’s going to happen his price won’t be higher than now so – I don’t blame him for not wanting to go through another rebuild but unfortunately that’s where the Raiders are at right now.”

Raiders fans largely dismissed Glazer as unreliable, while others resigned to a potential rebuild. Trade speculation ran wild, with teams like the Chiefs, Ravens, and 49ers mentioned as fits.

What This Means for the Raiders in 2026

If traded, Crosby’s departure would be devastating — he’s the face of the franchise and a perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate. A haul could accelerate a rebuild, but losing a homegrown star like Crosby (who has repeatedly said he wants to stay in Vegas) could alienate fans.

The Raiders hold the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and have cap space to retool, but Crosby’s future is now the defining storyline of their offseason.
