Should we pursue him?
What’s his trade value?

Vita Vea would have more impact on the line than Crosby does.

Vita Vea plus a 1st for Crosby sounds like a good trade. It would make via the equivalent of a 2nd round trade pick since we can probably get a 1st and 2nd for Crosby now that hes supposedly healthy.

Without Maxx in the deal I am now up to a 2nd rounder for Vea. We used a 2nd rounder on Beck, so what the hell....

More impact than the player with the most tackles for loss in the last 7 or so seasons????

I'm down for that if we can sign him on a somewhat Raider friendly contract.

I disagree. We have some young, up and coming DTs but Maxx is almost irreplaceable. Elite pass rushers are not that easy to replace.

Maxx has had a lot of injury problems the last couple of years, even though he wants to always play his body is breaking down more the older he gets.

I think thats going to get curbed this year. That also makes him seem like he is better than he is when you compare the raw #s of a player who never leaves the field, to one who has a normal workload.

Maxx the last two years has been dealing with injuries in which has affected his play; hopefully the new coaching staff will limit Maxx to maybe playing 60% of the plays…and if the game is over at halftime meaning the raiders are losing by 20 points or more; to just bench him….

It appears that Bill Williamson failed 4th grade English, then dropped out.

He would make the better:

The have the means, but would investing so much in an aging player prudent?

the Buccaneers will likely want, at eaest, a Day 2 pick

But there are also enough potential hurdles that that has to be considered

The article says pretty much nothing. Here's a pearl of profound wisdom of the "water is wet" variety:

The more better players you can stack on your roster, the better.

A trade for Vea does free up Maxx a little more it’s the young guys likes of Hemingway & Crawford who i think benefit more from it

Vea & Maxx would eat up blockers letting the youngs guy get at it

Grammatical errors don't keep me from grasping what someone is trying to say.

The Raiders defense needs this guy. Tom Brady & John Spytek connection.. get it done
