Market context

Maxx Crosby, the Las Vegas Raiders' defensive end, remains under contract through the 2025 season. The market currently prices zero probability on him joining another franchise by August 2026, implying consensus expects him to remain with Las Vegas. Crosby signed a four-year, $98.8 million extension in 2023, making him one of the Raiders' cornerstone defensive pieces. The settlement mechanism defaults to the Raiders if no move occurs, which heavily anchors the baseline expectation.

Comparable edge-rusher movements in recent years show that elite defensive ends typically remain with their original contract teams unless released or traded mid-contract. Von Miller, Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt all stayed put through their extensions. Crosby's age (26 in 2026) and performance level make him valuable to Las Vegas, reducing likelihood of release. However, the Raiders' documented financial constraints and potential rebuild trajectory create non-zero scenarios where a trade becomes viable—particularly if the franchise pivots its roster direction or faces salary-cap pressure.

Traders should monitor the Raiders' 2025 season performance and any front-office restructuring announcements. If Las Vegas struggles significantly or ownership signals a rebuild, trade speculation could emerge before the August 2026 deadline. Contract restructures or extensions announced in 2025 would further cement his Raiders tenure. The current 0% probability likely undervalues the small but material chance of a trade or release, given the two-year window and potential organisational volatility in a rebuilding franchise.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.

Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.
