The New England Patriots were among many teams mentioned in Crosby trade rumors over the winter and are still in need of an edge rusher.
ESPN’s Dan Graziano wrote Thursday that Crosby could still be moved this fall and named New England as a potential fit for the 28-year-old.
“I wouldn’t expect Crosby trade talk to heat up again until he gets on a field and shows he’s healthy. And from everything I’ve been told, that could be in August or later,” the senior NFL national reporter said. “Crosby might stick with the Raiders all year at this point, but if he’s going to get traded at all, we’re probably looking at something in-season ahead of the deadline. If a team such as the Cowboys, Bills, Bears or Patriots finds itself in contention and in need of an impact pass rusher, things could get interesting here again.”
Crosby registered a career-best 28 tackles for loss in 15 games last season and added 20 quarterback hits and 10.0 sacks.
