What's Next for Maxx Crosby and the Raiders, Cowboys Cap Crunch Ends in Odighizuwa Trade to 49ers

·32 min·2 clips

Maxx Crosby posted, “I’m a Raider. I’m back. Run that S.”

Brian Peacock and Matt Williamson open the weekly mailbag with questions that came mostly from Twitter. The first thread is Max Crosby and whether he ends up a Raider for life. That quickly widens into a broader trade discussion. They work through how teams usually act once trade chatter starts. Low-ball offers come up right away, along with the idea that the Raiders might simply refuse to move Crosby for a weak return. They also wonder how much say Crosby would have in any destination if a trade ever did happen, and whether an agent would help shape that outcome. The medical angle matters too. The discussion references reports that the Ravens and Cowboys may have seen some of the same concerns after looking closer at the medicals. The point is not that a deal is impossible. It is that a Crosby move might require time, caution, and more certainty than the rumor mill gives it. They also step back from the player-specific chatter and talk about how the league might need to take a harder look at how free agency works. That moves the conversation from one rumor to the system around it. The episode keeps returning to the idea that a deal is a deal, but the road to one is often messier than fans assume. From there they briefly widen the lens to the 49ers-Cowboys trade for a pass-rushing defensive tackle and to the deepest positions in the draft. It keeps the episode moving across a few different football pressure points without letting any one headline take over completely. The pace stays brisk and skeptical throughout. What would a fair offer look like. How much does medical information change the market. How much does a player like Crosby shift the calculus simply by being on the roster. Those are the kinds of questions driving the segment. By the end, the episode feels like a live whiteboard session. Crosby is on it. So are the Cowboys, the 49ers, the medical questions, and the bigger debate about how teams actually behave when trade rumors start flying. The show keeps all of it in motion without pretending the answer is simpler than it is.
