The Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby has been the talk of trade rumors since the end of the season. It all started when the team decided to place him on injured reserve with two games left in the season, a move Crosby was not a fan of. Since that moment, all the talk about Crosby, from the Super Bowl to the NFL combine, has been whether he will be a Raider in 2026.
On Friday Night, Crosby attended a dinner in Las Vegas celebrating his winning the commitment to excellence award. While he didn’t fully put Raider Nation at ease with his comments, he addressed fans with all the noise surrounding the name.
‘There’s always gonna be noise, and always gonna be other things — outside, inside, whatever it is. But if you put the work first, if you lead by example, if you lift up your teammates, they’re gonna speak louder than any external factor, and that’s what I live by, I love playing the game of football, man, this is literally my world.”
The five-time Pro Bowler will remain a topic of discussion until he suits up in September for the Silver and Black. Fans will have to endure the rumors, but for now, Crosby is still a Raider.
