NFL Rumors: Los Angeles Rams Could Pursue Trade for All-Pro

The Los Angeles Rams have already made two of the boldest moves in the NFL this offseason, swinging a trade for All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie and snagging quarterback Ty Simpson in the first round. But according to the latest buzz, the Rams might not be done dealing just yet.

Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports that Los Angeles could set its sights on another blockbuster trade this October—this time targeting All-Pro edge rusher Maxx Crosby of the Las Vegas Raiders. If the Raiders decide to make Crosby available, the Rams appear ready to jump into the conversation.

The Raiders have recently mended fences with Crosby after a proposed deal with the Baltimore Ravens fell through. For now, Las Vegas seems committed to keeping their star pass rusher heading into the regular season. But as any NFL fan knows, that stance can shift quickly if the team underperforms and playoff hopes fade.

While the Raiders won't command a pair of first-round picks for Crosby like they might have earlier, they could still land premium draft capital. That's where things get interesting for the Rams.

One major hurdle for Las Vegas in any potential trade talks is the value teams are placing on the 2027 NFL Draft. Scouts and executives alike view the 2027 class as both deeper and more talented than the 2026 group—potentially one of the best in years. As a result, most teams have been reluctant to part with their 2027 picks.

But the Rams are not "most teams."

Atkins notes that Los Angeles is one of the very few organizations willing to trade 2027 draft capital. That willingness could give them a significant edge in negotiations, especially against rebuilding teams that are hoarding picks for next year's bumper crop.

For Rams fans, the possibility of adding a relentless force like Crosby to an already aggressive defense is tantalizing. Add in the team's newfound offensive firepower, and Los Angeles could be positioning itself for a deep playoff run. Keep an eye on October—the trade deadline might just bring the Rams their next headline-grabbing move.
