Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman has some big decisions to make in the offseason, but could he be considering a trade to land one of the best defensive ends in the NFL?
NFL insider Mike Garafolo said the Eagles should be considered among the top teams in the running for a potential trade with the Las Vegas Raiders for Maxx Crosby. While Crosby has tried to distance himself from trade rumors, that hasn't stopped the media from believing they'll eventually happen.
It has led many to wonder what a Crosby trade would look like and whether it would be worth the Eagles' while to entertain. One trade proposal, if it ends up being true, would be an incredible deal Roseman could never pass up on taking.
Maxx Crosby-Eagles trade proposal is too good to resist
CBS Sports writer Tyler Sullivan created some mock trade proposals involving Crosby with other teams. The Eagles' deal would be a 2026 first-round pick (23rd overall pick) and a 2027 second-round pick for Crosby.
"Howie Roseman is never shy about making a splash in the trade market. Oftentimes, he's leading the charge on jaw-dropping offseason moves. In fact, Roseman and the Eagles reportedly checked in with the Cowboys (!) to see if they'd trade Parsons when that saga was unfolding, which suggests they could be interested in Crosby.
Philadelphia did make an in-season trade to address its pass-rushing deficiencies, landing Jaelan Phillips from the Dolphins at the deadline. Before that deal (Weeks 1-9), the Eagles ranked 14th in pressure rate and were tied for 25th in sacks. After Phillips arrived (Weeks 10-18), they jumped to sixth in pressure rate and tied for fifth in sacks.
With Phillips set to hit free agency, there's a possibility Philly will again be on the hunt for pass-rush help. With the franchise still in a Super Bowl window, it should be willing to part with blue-chip draft capital, including its 2026 first-round pick."
For a player who has been to five Pro Bowls in his career, this certainly feels like too good a deal to pass up on. Crosby racked up 439 tackles, 164 quarterback hits, 133 tackles for loss, 69.5 sacks, 29 pass deflections, 11 forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, and one interception in 110 career games.
This would spell the end of Jaelan Phillips' short time in Philly, and it would mean Roseman would have to make some moves to create cap space for Crosby, but a move like this is a game-changer. The Eagles would be right back in the Super Bowl conversation with just that trade alone.

If Roseman has a real shot at Crosby and that's the offer, take it and run with it.
