The Arizona Cardinals badly need a top pass rusher off the edge. Linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. knows this after playing his first season with the team. He sees an opportunity for the Cardinals.
The Las Vegas Raiders are undergoing changes. They fired head coach Antonio Pierce and have hired former Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll to replace him.
After years of losing, many speculate that defensive end Maxx Crosby could be looking to get out.
That’s where Wilson comes in. He recently reposted something Crosby had on social media, adding that Crosby would “look good it Cardinal Red.”

Crosby could become available and the Cardinals would of course look into it.
He has been selected to the Pro Bowl four consecutive seasons. He had 7.5 sacks in 12 games last season and 34.5 sacks over his last three seasons. He is 27 years old.
He has two years remaining on his contract and is due to make more than $22.2 million in 2025 and then more than $18.8 million in 2026, although he has no guaranteed money remaining on his deal.
With more than $70 million in cap space this offseason, the Cardinals can make this move.
We will see if Crosby actually becomes available and whether the Cardinals will be players in trying to acquire him.
