What’s your perspective on:

Could trading Maxx Crosby be the Raiders' biggest mistake, or a strategic masterstroke?

Have an interesting take?

This is why Dan Campbell, at the end, concluded with: “We are open to looking for anything we can.” After all of this, it is reasonable to say that the Lions are eyeing the Raiders DE. But only time will tell whether the Raiders are interested in this trade or not.

Crosby is a fourth-round pick, thus the Raiders will expect a better trade pick in exchange, if the conversations escalate. Having said that, Detroit will be planning to make its core more strong for the foreseeable future. Considering all the calculated risks, adding a player of Crosby’s potential can be a relieving situation for the Detroit team. Let’s wait for the teams to determine what they want from the present circumstances.
