I wouldn’t say 0 for Crosby. The people saying that the raiders would never trade a star edge in his prime must not remember them doing the same thing with Khalil Mack lol. If any team would do a dumbass move like that it would be the raiders
Some people really need to study this.
I don’t understand how people have witnessed how BH has masterfully rebuilt this team with draft picks and think he is going to sell the farm to get Crosby.
Losing Hutch for the year was a hard blow but it is not worth mortgaging the future to replace him.
Deep down we all know this to be true.
Let’s put a trade for Crosby at .1% chance, not saying never but yeah not going to happen bud.
If it did happen, it’s not a “Hutch” replacement or a 1 year rental. It’s because Brad would have made the trade regardless of the Hutch injury, and it’s because they view the long term plan to have 2 elite All Pro edge rushers for many years together.
I hear you. There is zero chance we are trading for Maxx Crosby OR Myles Garrett.
So you are saying we are getting both?
So you’re just fine with punting the Super Bowl expectations this year? You’re not gonna get there, let alone win, playing practice squad players on the edge all season. People forget you also lost Davenport earlier so the edge position is a joke right now. And it’s not like trading for someone hamstrings the future. For example, Myles Garrett is still under contract until 2027. Could you imagine him and Hutch on the same line next year? And if you go far, you’re giving up a 1st rounder in the 30s, which isn’t a huge deal especially since Brad has shown tremendous ability to draft in later rounds.
I swear some people can’t fathom we’re in a Super Bowl contending season right now and don’t think the front office approach should ever change accordingly for the circumstances
What about Hassan Reddick though? He can fill some of Barnes’ and Hutch’s role. I’d give a 4th or 5th for that
There’s 0 chance Brad makes a blockbuster trade at least
Eh, I think if you are Brad you at least see what the asking price would be. Chances are it’s too steep. Probably going to be a less splashy, lower pick cost vet
Then our SB window has slammed shut imo.
This was the year for us and unless we make a trade to replace Hutch I don’t see us going very far in the playoffs.
We lose Ben Johnson next year too. Man this fucking sucks
Wrong…… we are getting MAXX
Facts
Im tired of hearing the reason is “not brads way” theres zero indication either team is willing to trade these guys.
There is zero reason for the Raiders to trade Maxx Crosby. The Browns have slightly higher chance of trading but even then it is slim. It takes two to tango. The max amount of first round picks you can trade is 3. If the Lions were bad would you trade Aidan or Penei for 3 first rounds? I don’t think I would.
Those picks could be anything for the Raiders!They could even be Maxx Crosby
Myles Garrett makes more sense than Crosby to me
Yeah, those two are completely out of the question. However, I feel there is a good chance we go after one of:
Travon Walker
Hendrickson
Harold Landry
Ojulari
Clowney
Za’Darious Smith
I think if we make any move that isn’t a PS signing, it will be one of these guys.
Forget about it. They don’t need those guys. Next man up and the rest of the D steps up. It’s ok.
People here keep assuming it’s a lack of desire thing on Holmes’ part. I bet you he’d love to trade for Crosby or Garrett!
But it takes two to trade, and right now there is 0 evidence LV or Cleveland is even remotely interested in trading them. It’s not as simple as “just go trade for him”, despite y’all wishing it was so. This isn’t Madden.
We don’t need em
I would love for one of them to be here. It just comes down to price. Crosby, if the Raiders wanted to trade him, would ask for at least 2 first round picks and at least a 2nd or a third. Lions don’t have a third this year. So you need to dip into the next years draft. If the Lions are picking late first, I’m okay with the first round picks going. But the 2nd or third round makes me a little more cautious, especially if they want more than one. As for Garrett, I think he would be the easier get. This years first and maybe a future third or fourth round pick. Plus, he has like 2 years left on his deal. Need to at least make the calls and just see what’s out there. Because now teams don’t have to chip or keep a guy in to account for Hutchinson. So more people will be running routes faster, which will really test the secondary and LBs in coverage.
I think everyone is forgetting that Alim and Hutch are due for a contract extension. That being said, why would BH go out and spend a whole lot of cap money, not to mention give up a couple of first round picks, for a player like Crosby who would pretty much be a one year rental? Especially when you would be risking not having enough cap space to re-sign Alim and Hutch?
This is why a trade for a Crosby or Reddick will never happen. Furthermore, we should all be thankful right now that Brad Holmes is the Lions GM and we should all have full confidence in whatever he decides to do.

Unpopular opinion: Maxx Crosby is an asshole and I don’t want him on this team.
Who or what are you giving up for either? Wouldn’t that possibly mess up the current vibe of this team?
Yep. Anyone saying either is realistic immediately loses credibility
Dreaming is fine but some of the trade offers Ive seen are asinine.
Someone thought a second rounder would be enough to start the discussion…
