One team has separated from the pack in the Maxx Crosby sweepstakes.
With the Raiders’ star pass rusher expected to be dealt this offseason, the Chicago Bears have emerged as a heavy betting favorite to pull off a deal.
Chicago is currently -135 to be Crosby’s next destination at DraftKings Sportsbook, which is well ahead of fellow trade suitors.
The chances of Crosby heading to the Windy City have apparently gained steam in the last 24 hours.
As recently as yesterday, Crosby was +600 to be a Bear, and moved to +200 early Tuesday morning before going to odds-on territory later in the day.
Despite the rumors, Crosby still has a decent shot at remaining in Las Vegas in the eyes of oddsmakers, with the Raiders being the second-most likely team (+165) he takes his next snap for.
From there, nearly a third of the league has odds between 12/1 and 20/1 to acquire Crosby before Week 1.

Betting on the NFL?
The Raiders are said to have a massive asking price for Crosby, with NBC Sports’ Mike Florio reporting that the franchise wants the same trade package that the Cowboys got for Micah Parsons last year.
Crosby, a fourth-round pick in 2019, has played his entire NFL career for the Raiders, making five straight Pro Bowls since 2021.
