NFL Combine Day 1: Stroud, Crosby in Focus

Day 1 of the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine focused on trade rumors surrounding C.J. Stroud and the Raiders' Maxx Crosby as teams gathered in Indianapolis.

Texans GM Nick Caserio dismissed trade rumors about quarterback C.J. Stroud, calling them "moronic" and confirming "He's our quarterback. He isn't going anywhere." The comments follow Stroud's inconsistent play since his stellar rookie season, where he completed 64.5% of his passes for 3,041 yards and 19 touchdowns in 2025.

Las Vegas GM John Spytek addressed All-Pro defensive end Maxx Crosby's future, stating he expects Crosby to remain with the Raiders in 2026, though he didn't completely rule out a potential trade scenario.
