Aidan Hutchinson recently shared his thoughts on the buzz about the Detroit Lions potentially acquiring Maxx Crosby. Even though Detroit already boasts one of the league’s top edge rushers in Hutchinson, speculation continues whenever a high-profile pass rusher might be available.

The Lions were among the NFL’s top teams in sacks this past season, finishing tied for fourth with 49. Still, the possibility of pairing two dominant edge defenders has energized the fan base. Trade chatter intensified after reports suggested Crosby could be seeking a move from the Las Vegas Raiders.

Speaking with Casino Guru’s DJ Siddiqi, Hutchinson admitted that lining up next to Crosby would be an exciting prospect. He described it as an appealing, almost ideal situation to play opposite such a disruptive force. However, he also expressed uncertainty about how realistic the scenario might be. Hutchinson noted that similar questions arose previously regarding a potential pairing with Myles Garrett, and he hinted that the team’s front office philosophy may not align with pursuing another high-profile edge rusher.

He also acknowledged the financial complexities involved. With several young standouts on the roster due for new contracts, salary cap considerations could make a blockbuster deal difficult. Hutchinson added that he prefers to stay focused on football and leave roster construction decisions to management.

As for Crosby, there is no certainty he will be dealt. He remains under contract with Las Vegas through 2029. Still, given the Raiders’ ongoing rebuild, speculation persists that a trade—possibly even to Detroit—cannot be completely ruled out.
