NFL Combine: Stroud Decline, Crosby Trade Talk

The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine kicks off in Indianapolis with trade rumors surrounding C.J. Stroud and potential Maxx Crosby trade talks taking center stage.

The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine commenced in Indianapolis, where top draft prospects undergo interviews and evaluations with all 32 teams. A major focus has been on C.J. Stroud, whose performance has declined significantly since his stellar rookie season, according to Texans GM Nick Caserio who dismissed trade rumors as 'moronic'.

Meanwhile, Raiders general manager John Spytek wouldn't rule out a potential trade for All-Pro defensive end Maxx Crosby, with speculation suggesting any return could surpass the Micah Parsons deal. Combine officials expect more teams and prospects to participate in the coming days.
