NFL Combine Day 1 brought significant trade discussions, with Texans GM Nick Caserio firmly shooting down rumors of moving quarterback C.J. Stroud, calling speculation "moradic." Despite Stroud's decline since his impressive rookie season, Caserio confirmed "He's our quarterback" and suggested picking up his fifth-year option rather than pursuing a mega extension.
Meanwhile, Las Vegas Raiders GM John Spytek expects defensive end Maxx Crosby to remain with the team in 2026 but hinted that any potential trade return could exceed what the Dallas Cowboys received for Micah Parsons, highlighting Crosby's significant value around the league.
