That’s not realistic… it would be a steal if we could get the #2 overall…

I’m on board with buying low and selling high! That was the main thing keeping us down the last few years of AD, buying high and selling low

Another thing too is Maxx said on his podcast if you dont hear it from him dont believe it so until Maxx says I want to be traded. it's all clickbait bullshit.

I don't think it would be a matter of whether or not he want's to traded it would be up to the team? Does he have a no trade clause?

Otherwise, I’d rather he be here but I also could care less if he’s gone. Come April, he will no longer be the face of this team.

I highly doubt Klint Kubiak agreed to come here with Max Crosby being the main reason why. He has the #1 overall pick with a couple stud pieces on offense in place. Fernando is his type of quarterback. A few years ago he was asked what he looks for in a QB draft prospect and the traits he listed is Mendoza to a T. Won games in college, decision making, accuracy, read a defense. Crosby doesn't deter that

IF what he said is reliable, Jay Glazer indicated that Maxx is the one who wants the trade (not the Raiders.)

I'm still hopeful to keep him.

I love Maxx, he's a true Raider. That said, as far as a pure pass rusher there's probably 5-6 other edge guys I'd rather have than him easily. He has no bull rush whatsoever. Many of his sacks are coverage sacks.

He's a leader and he's a tone setter. He's probably the best edge guy against the run in the entire league. He's never had a major injury. He deflects passes. His motor & passion is second to none.

All in all, I wouldn't be in a hurry to trade him. There has to be true value given back due to the fact of trading a proven asset (for unproven picks) whose never had a major injury, who happens to be a rockstar of a leader. There is a bit of drama. His bullshit tantrum to close the year was stupid. That jackassery mindset could have f[raiders_icon]cked the Raiders out of Mendoza. That would have f[raiders_icon]cked the Raiders out of a Kubiak. You get the point.

Finally, keep in mind he's under contract until 2029. For a good price IMO. The Raiders have a lot of leverage. If they don't get a good return offer for him they can keep him. To me that's not playing hard ball. He's got a contract and the team isn't trying to f[raiders_icon]ck him. To NOT be willing to just offload him for whatever is common sense. He also would have no choice in destination if his preferred destinations can't anty up.

Obviously we want high picks,but young players could be part of a deal too..good Ol piece along with picks for example

Lmao!
Dallas dealt arguably the best pass rusher in the game cus Jerry wouldn’t pay why would they trade picks to get another high priced DE in return

Jets browns are like the Raiders, organizational disasters
No way they deal especially with Chambliss possibly in draft

Then there is Rams who trade top picks like a drunken Sailor…

If it’s a 1 and 2 THIS year and our Cap jumps another 30 mil pull the trigger. f[raiders_icon]ck it.

At least to the best of my recollection - guys like Maxx usually only get traded if they force the issue. I have a hard time seeing us really considering it on our own terms.

What often gets left out of the equation is where the team you’re trading with is picking. You probably have a bunch of playoff teams willing to give us 1sts… those picks just aren’t actually all that enticing. Can’t imagine too many bad teams lining up to mortgage their future for him

Micah is a better pass rusher. Maxx is better in every other way. Maxx also hasn't had his knee blown up. Parsons came off a year where he tore his knee up when the trade happened. Then he unfortunately tore it again. Maxx has had no such injuries

Picks 13 and 29 work for me. We might even be able to package those to move up for Bain if a building block for the D is something they want. Replace Maxx and still have 30 extra mil in cap space.

Crosby still decked out in Raiders gear.

If they trade Maxx,The Raiders should look to accumulate picks for next year as well as extra picks this year, this makes many more teams an attractive option for the Raiders to trade with. With the bumper crop of QBs coming out, a lot of non QB talent will get pushed down the board next year. Having extra picks next year would give them much more flexibility to maneuver up and down the draft board. Maybe something like a 1 and 3 this year and a 1 and 2 next year could be an attractive option for the Raiders.

I think Crosby has mostly shut up because he sees what losing ended up with. An actual potential franchise qb.

Im fine keeping or moving him for a good haul. Whatever Kubiak and Spytek deem best for the long run.
