Within the wake of the Davante Adams
commerce, questions have understandably been raised about the way forward for Maxx Crosby. The Raiders’ finest participant just isn’t available on the market, however his newest remarks on the opportunity of a swap are far much less conclusive than these of proprietor Mark Davis.
“I’m not right here to rebuild, I’m right here to win,” the three-time Professional Bowler stated when talking about his future (through Mike Florio of Professional Soccer Speak). “So, , I don’t know. No matter which means, however yeah I’m right here to win now. And wherever I’m gonna be, I’m gonna be right here to win. In order that’s all that issues to me.”
The choice to maneuver on from Adams is a somewhat clear indication of Vegas’ intent relating to a run to the playoffs in 2024. With Gardner Minshew being changed atop the quarterback depth chart by Aidan O’Connell, uncertainty looms over that place for the steadiness of the season in addition to 2025.

Crosby and the Raiders agreed to a restructure this offseason which upped his earnings for this season and subsequent. His contract — which ranks ninth amongst edge-rushers by way of common annual worth — runs by way of 2026. Consequently, the matter of “wherever” he performs sooner or later is not going to be unsure supplied the Raiders flip apart the inevitable commerce curiosity they may obtain within the coming weeks. In fact, numerous groups would supply the 27-year-old with a greater likelihood at contending than the 2-4 Raiders this season.
Crosby stated in June he intends to stay in Vegas for the whole lot of his profession. His monster extension definitely units up that chance and remaining wholesome ought to enable him to proceed proving high-end manufacturing. The Jap Michigan product is on monitor for a fourth double-digit sack marketing campaign in his six-year profession. That may in all chance make him a centerpiece of the Raiders for years to return, however his feedback be aware the potential for a change of surroundings being doable.
