As everybody knows now, the Chicago Bears still need to add an edge rusher, and it remains uncertain when and if it’s going to happen. The Bears are in a position where they have to feel very confident about winning a Super Bowl, or at least getting near the top, if they can make that one final move. 

It isn’t a guarantee that they’re going to win it all if they get there, but they’d be much closer by adding a guy like Maxx Crosby than they would be if they didn’t have him. 

Sadly, it doesn’t seem like Crosby is available at the moment, and his latest comments make it seem like he’s more than happy to stay in Vegas for the time being.

“It’s water under the bridge,” Crosby said, per NFL.com. “It’s a long time ago. A lot of things I learned about what’s going on and what this league can bring. A lot of adversity, a lot of different things you can’t really anticipate. But I’ve been through a lot in my life. It’s nothing to me. I’m here and I want to be here and I’m excited to be here. I’ve got a lot of work to do.”

Hearing Crosby say that he wants to be there is far from ideal for a team like the Bears, as him coming out directly and saying that he doesn’t want to be there could make a trade much more likely. The Bears are going to need some help in the trade, at least in terms of Las Vegas being willing to trade him.
