The Philadelphia Eagles have emerged as a leading franchise to recruit the defensive end.

It has been suggested that Crosby could end up in Philadelphia as his fallout with the Raiders continues.

He was picked by the then-Oakland team during the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft.

Crosby has spent seven years with the franchise as he became established as one of the league’s leading defensive ends.

 

 

 

But his relationship with the franchise has soured throughout the 2025 NFL season.

He shockingly stormed out of the Raiders’ practice facility towards the end of their campaign.

Crosby had been placed on the team’s injured reserve with two games remaining.

The defensive end then shared images on social media that appeared to show him as healthy despite being placed on the injured reserve.

Now he is expected to quit the Raiders ahead of 2026.

 

 

 

 

The NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, 42, has now suggested that he expects to see Crosby lining up in midnight green.

“Big time.. I mean, listen, they tried to trade for Micah Parsons in the division, right?” Garafolo told the Philadelphia-oriented Anthony Gargano Show.

“Why wouldn’t they be considered a strong contender for a team that would be like, ‘yeah, get him out of the conference, get him to another team?’”

Crosby has told owner Mark Davis, 70, that his time in Nevada is over as he searches for a new team.

He has also expressed this sentiment to part-owner Tom Brady, 48, following the 2026 season.

 

 

 

 

Defensive end Crosby was previously linked with the Eagles despite signing a three-year, $106.5 million deal ahead of the 2025 campaign.

But Garafolo expects significant competition to sign the star defensive end.

“I would put the Eagles in the top three, five, whatever [teams] for Maxx Crosby if and when this thing opens up,” Garafolo added. “And I do believe it’s going to open up.”

The Eagles missed out on reaching back-to-back Super Bowl appearances after losing to the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card playoff.
