It may be a good idea to add Maxx Crosby to your team for Madden 27. It was just revealded that the Raiders Pro Bowler will have the third highest OVR among edge rushers this year and the fourth highest rated defender. With only reigning Defensive Player of the Year EDGE Myles Garrett (99), EDGE Micah Parsons (98), and CB Christian Gonzalez receiving higher ratings.

49ers LB Fred Warner and Broncos CB Patrick Surtain II tie with Crosby for the fourth highest rated defenders in the game.
Despite playing much of last season with a nagging injury and missing the final two games of the season, Crosby still finished with ten sacks and 28 tackles for loss. Now he's coming off
an injury that was supposedly so concerning the Ravens backed out of an agreed to trade to acquire him last March.
Crosby is now back to full strength and participating in training camp with his (still) Raiders teammates. And the folks who put together Madden ratings seem convinced he's going to be just fine. Perhaps better than fine because now he has even more motivation to prove himself. As if he needed that.
