  • Albert Breer vs. Vegas: Are the Commanders a Real Fit for Maxx Crosby?
    Mar 3 2026
    Chris Russell opens the show by setting the stage with a fascinating disconnect surrounding Maxx Crosby and his potential future. Two conflicting narratives dominate the conversation: on one hand, NFL insider Albert Breer published an article outlining seven realistic landing spots for the star Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher, none of which included the Washington Commanders. On the other hand, BetOnline lists Washington as the betting favorite to land Crosby, creating confusion and buzz among fans. Russell breaks down both perspectives, questioning where the truth actually lies, whether Washington truly has the assets and appetite to pull off a blockbuster move, and just as importantly, whether trading for Crosby is a move the Commanders should make as they continue to shape their long-term roster plan.
