Former NFL player signs with the Roughriders

The best landing spots for Maxx Crosby are currently fueling discussions in the National Football League.

The Las Vegas Raiders' formidable pass rusher and multiple Pro Bowl selection remains one of the most dominant defensive players in the league. If his name ever officially becomes available on the trade market, several aspiring teams could quickly position themselves.

Among the teams often mentioned, the Baltimore Ravens are at the top of the list. Their identity is already based on a physical and aggressive defense. Adding Crosby to their defensive front would significantly increase the pressure on opposing quarterbacks, especially in the playoffs, where the pass rush becomes crucial.

The San Francisco 49ers are also a logical scenario. Despite the presence of a pillar like Nick Bosa, San Francisco is constantly looking to maximize its defensive impact. Pairing Crosby with Bosa would create one of the most threatening duos in the league, completely transforming the dynamics of close games.

Teams in rebuilding mode ready to strike?

The Detroit Lions could also enter the conversation. Already competitive, they are looking to take their game to the next level. A player of Crosby's caliber could solidify a sometimes inconsistent defensive unit and provide the necessary experience in key moments.

For the Chicago Bears, the addition of an elite pass rusher would fill a pressing need.

However, the price to pay—likely several first-round picks—could dampen their enthusiasm. The New England Patriots are also mentioned as a team capable of offering solid draft capital in return.

The best landing spots for Maxx Crosby will ultimately depend on two factors: the Raiders' willingness to listen to offers and a team's ability to absorb his contract while sacrificing major assets. One thing remains certain: if Crosby changes addresses, the balance of power in the NFL could be profoundly altered.
