Market context

Maxx Crosby, the Las Vegas Raiders' defensive end, remains under contract through 2026. The market resolves based on whether he signs with a different NFL franchise by 31 August 2026, or stays with Las Vegas, which serves as the default resolution. At present, no credible reporting suggests imminent trade or free agency activity; the 0% crowd probability reflects his current status as a Raiders asset with contractual obligations extending into the 2026 season.

Historical precedent shows that elite pass-rushers in their prime rarely change teams mid-contract without a trade catalyst. Comparable cases—such as Khalil Mack's 2018 trade from Oakland to Chicago, or Robert Quinn's 2020 move—typically involve explicit team-initiated trades or mutual release agreements announced months in advance. Crosby's age (26 in 2026) and performance level make him valuable to Las Vegas, reducing the baseline probability of departure unless the Raiders enter a rebuild phase or face salary-cap constraints that force asset liquidation.

Traders should monitor Raiders front-office statements during the 2025 off-season, particularly around the NFL Draft and free-agency period. Contract restructures, coaching changes, or public commentary from general manager Jon Gruden or ownership regarding the defensive line's future would signal shifting intentions. The settlement window closes before the 2026 regular season begins, meaning any trade or release must occur during the spring or summer of 2026. Recent precedent suggests such moves typically materialise between February and July, leaving a defined observation period for material developments.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

At resolution the UMA oracle takes over: a proposer posts the outcome with a bond, any token holder can dispute within two hours. Without dispute the result is accepted and the smart contract distributes USDC instantly.

On Kalshi (CFTC-regulated) resolution runs through their in-house clearing engine in USD. Betfair Exchange settles after match end in the account's local currency. Manifold pays no cash — only its in-platform "mana" currency.
