Breaking: Las Vegas Raiders Defensive End Tyree Wilson Express his intentions to play with the Tennessee Titans After Maxx Crosby Announced..
In a surprising development that could signal a major shakeup in the NFL offseason, Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Tyree Wilson has publicly expressed interest in joining the Tennessee Titans — shortly after Raiders star Maxx Crosby made headlines with comments casting uncertainty on his future with the team.
Wilson, a former first-round draft pick out of Texas Tech, spoke to reporters during an offseason event in Las Vegas, where he acknowledged his admiration for the Titans organization and hinted at a desire to explore new opportunities.
“I’ve always respected the way the Titans play — tough, physical football, and they’ve got a great defensive culture,” Wilson said. “If there’s a chance to be part of something like that, especially with some of the talent they’re building, I’d definitely be open to it.”
His comments come on the heels of a cryptic social media post by Maxx Crosby, who has been the face of the Raiders’ defense over the past few seasons. Crosby expressed frustration with the franchise’s direction following a lackluster 2024 season and coaching changes, saying he would “do what’s best for [his] future.” The post has sparked speculation about his potential trade or even a possible reunion with former coaches elsewhere in the league.
Wilson’s interest in Tennessee has already stirred buzz among fans and analysts. The Titans, under head coach Brian Callahan, have been actively retooling their roster this offseason, focusing on bolstering their pass rush and front seven. Adding a young, high-upside defensive end like Wilson — who notched six sacks and 12 QB hits in a breakout 2024 campaign — would align with their goals.
Sources close to the situation say Wilson’s comments were not made lightly, and while no official trade request has been submitted, the Raiders front office is expected to evaluate all options if player dissatisfaction continues to rise.
NFL insiders suggest that should both Wilson and Crosby ultimately depart, it could trigger a complete defensive rebuild for Las Vegas, leaving new general manager Tom Telesco with a critical set of decisions ahead of the 2025 season.
For now, Wilson remains under contract, but his openness about the Titans signals a potential storyline to watch as the summer trade window heats
