The San Francisco 49ers are exploring a trade for All-Pro edge rusher Maxx Crosby to strengthen their defense ahead of the 2026 NFL season. Following a strong 2025 season where they made the playoffs, the 49ers aim to bolster their roster for a deeper postseason run. Analyst Alex Kay suggests a potential trade involving a first-round pick and additional compensation. Crosby is coming off a rescinded trade to the Baltimore Ravens due to a failed physical but remains with the Las Vegas Raiders, who are not seen as serious championship contenders.
