After the Detroit Lions lost defensive end Aidan Hutchinson for the season with a broken leg, Crosby became a popular trade target among fans and media. In addition to the Lions having a need on their defensive line, Crosby was born in Michigan and played college football at Eastern Michigan. EMU’s field is named after Crosby after he made a $1 million donation to the athletic program.
Speculation ramped up on a possible deal after Crosby was seen on camera shoving linebackers coach Mike Caldwell during Week 6’s 32–13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Crosby quickly disputed that there was any tension between him and…
