Lions’ Week 2 Loss Sparks Intriguing Trade Idea for Raiders’ Maxx Crosby

A trade proposal floated by Zachary Rotman of FanSided suggests the Detroit Lions should trade for Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby. The proposed deal would send Crosby to Detroit in exchange for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2028 first-round pick. The trade idea comes after the Lions suffered a Week 2 loss and are looking to bolster their defense.

Crosby remains highly productive, earning a 90.5 PFF grade in a Week 1 win against Miami while recording two sacks. Although trading two first-round picks carries risk, especially after Crosby reportedly failed a physical with the Baltimore Ravens during a previously uncompleted summer trade, supporters of the move view it as a necessary risk for a win-now Detroit team.
