The Las Vegas Raiders are going to look very different next season, and part of the reason why might relate to Maxx Crosby.

During an interview with Yahoo Sports, FOX Sports NFL insider Jay Glazer was asked if he believes Crosby has played his last game with the Raiders. Glazer believes Crosby will be traded, likely before the NFL Draft.

Crosby’s relationship with the Raiders became strained late last season when the team shut him down for its final two games of the season. The star pass rusher disagreed with the decision so strongly that he stormed out of the team’s facility.

Crosby has also been open about his desire to win and play for a contender. The Raiders have the first overall pick in the NFL Draft, but their timeline for returning to contention might not align with Crosby’s. Indeed, this is not the first time this offseason the prospect of the Raiders trading Crosby has been discussed.

The 29-year-old pass rusher remains one of the most feared defensive players in the NFL. Despite battling through injuries, Crosby still collected 10 sacks through 15 games, marking the fourth time in his career that he has reached double-digit sacks.
