INDIANAPOLIS (AP) 鈥� A.J. Brown and Maxx Crosby are two of the best NFL players who could be on the move this offseason.
Their teams just aren鈥檛 saying they鈥檙e on the trade block.
Brown, the Philadelphia Eagles鈥� star wide receiver, wasn鈥檛 happy with the offense or his role in it last season after helping the team win the Super Bowl in 2024. But the Eagles will have a new system with offensive coordinator Sean Mannion.
鈥淭here鈥檚 a lot of conversations in the offseason about players on your team, on other teams,鈥� Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said Tuesday at the NFL scouting combine. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 really the job. That鈥檚 the fun part about the offseason is the opportunities to improve your team, the opportunities to make trades but at the end of the day, again, we鈥檙e trying to get better. It鈥檚 hard to do that if you鈥檙e just subtracting great players.
鈥淲e鈥檒l do whatever is in the best interest of our team to be better for this year and going forward. Anything that puts us in position that we think to potentially win another championship so every decision will be made with that no matter who the player is.鈥�
Crosby, the five-time Pro Bowl edge rusher for the Las Vegas Raiders, finished last season on injured reserve after being shut down for the final two weeks due to a knee injury, despite his desire to play. He鈥檚 said he wants to play for a contender.
Raiders GM John Spytek said he anticipates Crosby being on the team and added he had a 鈥済reat conversation鈥� with him. He also pointed to the New England Patriots going from 4-13 in 2024 to playing in the Super Bowl in 2025 as an example of a team that can dramatically improve from one season to the next.
However, when asked if Crosby is an 鈥渦ntradeable player,鈥� Spytek said: 鈥淲e鈥檙e always listening, man.鈥�
