4 teams that should trade for Maxx Crosby if the Raiders don't hire Antonio Pierce

4. Washington Commanders

In the offseason following a year that saw the Washington Commanders trade both Chase Young and Montez Sweat prior to the deadline, they now have a couple of clear priorities, with one of them being at edge rusher. Quarterback is also of high importance, like the aforementioned Patriots. But, Washington's draft position is a spot higher at no. 2, which they could easily use on one of the top two passers in this class.

The difference between having the no. 2 and no. 3 pick is huge, because Washington is guaranteed either Caleb Williams or Drake Maye if they wanted one of them. The Patriots, meanwhile, are not given that same guarantee.

So, I would assume the no. 2 pick is off the table, here. But, the Commanders could still offer an enticing package around a future first rounder and a Day 2 pick this year.

Washington also has the luxury of being no. 1 in projected, effective cap space per Over The Cap, at over $63 million this offseason. There is no doubt they would be just fine taking on Crosby's deal, and he'd be a significant first domino to fall in Washington's pivotal offseason.
