BREAKING NEWS: Raiders’ Defensive End Maxx Crosby Agrees to Terms with the 49ers Ahead of San Francisco Visit
San Francisco—In a move that has sent shockwaves through the NFL, star defensive end Maxx Crosby has reportedly agreed to terms with the San Francisco 49ers just hours before his scheduled visit to the team’s facility. Sources close to the situation confirm that a blockbuster deal was finalized late last night, bringing one of the league’s most dominant pass rushers to the Bay Area.
Crosby, a four-time Pro Bowler and the heart of the Las Vegas Raiders’ defense, had expressed frustration with the team’s direction in recent months. While rumors swirled about a possible trade, few expected the Raiders to actually part ways with their franchise cornerstone. Yet, in a stunning turn of events, the 49ers—fresh off a Super Bowl loss—made an aggressive push to bolster their already formidable defense.
“This was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up,” said 49ers GM John Lynch in a brief statement. “Maxx is a game-changer, and we believe he’ll be a perfect fit for our culture and defensive scheme.”
The deal, reportedly worth over $110 million across four years, pairs Crosby with reigning Defensive Player of the Year Nick Bosa, creating what could be the most feared pass-rushing duo in the league. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan didn’t hold back his excitement.
“Maxx plays with the kind of relentless energy we love,” Shanahan said. “We’re thrilled to have him.”
Crosby himself took to social media shortly after the news broke, posting a simple message: ‘The next chapter… Let’s get to work, Faithful.’
While the trade is a dream for 49ers fans, Raiders supporters are left stunned and furious, with many questioning the team’s long-term vision. As for Crosby, he’s expected to arrive in San Francisco later today, where he’ll undergo a physical and officially sign his contract.
One thing is certain—this move just made the 49ers’ defense even scarier, and the NFL landscape may never be the same.
