With ongoing speculation about Davante Adams being traded, Maxx Crosby remains committed to the Las Vegas Raiders, supported by owner Mark Davis’s comments suggesting Crosby won’t be dealt.

However, Crosby slightly hinted at the possibility of leaving this past week, and his facial expressions added weight to his words.

The Raiders should consider being sellers at the trade deadline. They can set a high asking price for Crosby, and the idea of a substantial return is enticing.

Key questions arise: What would teams be willing to give up? How much of Crosby’s contract would the Raiders absorb? Would Crosby request a trade before the November 5 deadline?

Given general manager Brad Holmes’s emphasis on draft capital, the Lions are unlikely to meet the demands needed to acquire Crosby from the Raiders.

Yet, if the Lions are seeking an advantage in pursuing Crosby, they might have one beyond his Michigan roots and appreciation for their current direction. Lions radio sideline reporter T.J.

Lang, who also played for the team, shares an alma mater with Crosby (Eastern Michigan) and has a close friendship with him.

During a recent episode of “The Mike Valenti Show with Rico” on 97.1 The Ticket, Lang didn’t deny that he might be discussing the possibility of Crosby being traded to the Lions.

Valenti pressed Lang on the idea of actively recruiting Crosby to Detroit, highlighting the potential connection.

Lang later took to Twitter to express his desire for Crosby’s best interests, openly admitting his bias toward the Lions while stating he wouldn’t dictate Crosby’s decisions.

While the likelihood of Crosby being traded to the Lions is slim for now, various factors come into play.

However, if Crosby were to inquire about life in Detroit or the team’s internal dynamics, the Lions hold a slight advantage over other teams vying for his services.

Ultimately, while Crosby’s trade to Detroit seems unlikely at this moment, the connections and discussions happening behind the scenes could influence future developments in the situation.
