Insider advises 49ers to delay potential Maxx Crosby trade
Summary

NFL insider Albert Breer suggests the San Francisco 49ers reconsider making a trade for Las Vegas Raiders pass rusher Maxx Crosby. Breer believes that assessing the team’s performance over the first part of the season is crucial before committing significant assets. He highlighted concerns over the aging roster, with key players like Trent Williams and Kyle Juszczyk nearing the end of their careers. Breer points out that if the 49ers start strong while the Raiders struggle, it could prompt a move for Crosby. However, any deal would likely require substantial draft capital.
