The 49ers may not be in on the Maxx Crosby sweepstakes anymore, but that doesn't mean they don't still have a dog in the fight.
Niner Noise argues that ongoing trade speculation surrounding Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby poses a significant threat to the San Francisco 49ers. With NFL insider Tom Pelissero reporting that Raiders GM John Spytek is fielding numerous calls ahead of the trade deadline, writer Zane Gelphman suggests that Crosby could potentially land with an NFC playoff rival.
The article notes that the 49ers are unlikely to trade for Crosby after recently acquiring DeForest Buckner. Furthermore, Gelphman contends that San Francisco's Week 9 matchup against Las Vegas creates a dilemma, as a 49ers victory could push the struggling Raiders to sell Crosby to a competing contender.
