    One of the biggest storylines of the NFL offseason centers on the Las Vegas Raiders and their standout pass rusher Maxx Crosby. The five-time Pro Bowler was held out in December with a knee issue\u2014a move Crosby strongly disputed, according to Fox\u2019s Jay Glazer\u2014and he\u2019s said to be reconsidering his future with the franchise once the matter is settled.<\/p>\n

    Reports about Crosby\u2019s status conflict. Glazer has suggested Crosby\u2019s time in Las Vegas may be finished, while NFL Media reports the player hasn\u2019t asked for a trade and remains in a \u201cgood position\u201d with the team. MMQB\u2019s Albert Breer, however, says the Raiders have substantial damage control to do if they want to keep him, and that Crosby\u2019s frustration with the organization is at an all-time high.<\/p>\n

    Breer noted that Crosby rose inside the organization during the Tom Brady era and had a close association with trainer Alex Guerrero, who now serves as the Raiders\u2019 wellness coordinator. Multiple sources tell Breer Guerrero, viewed as Brady\u2019s \u201ceyes and ears,\u201d was involved in informing Crosby he would be sidelined\u2014a conversation that \u201creally infuriated\u201d the star defender. Crosby also reportedly suspected his being shut down was tied to the Raiders\u2019 push for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 draft, which Vegas ultimately secured.<\/p>\n

    Crosby has largely avoided fueling the speculation publicly. On the podcast \u201cLet\u2019s Go!\u201d he said his priority is getting healthy, being with his wife and daughters, and focusing on training, and he dismissed the off-field chatter as predictable noise that he can\u2019t control. New head coach Clint Kubiak, hired this week, has already had Crosby in the building to train and spoke warmly about him, saying he wants Crosby to be part of the team\u2019s future and calling him one of the NFL\u2019s best players.<\/p>\n

    On the field, Crosby\u2019s production since entering the league as a fourth-round pick out of Eastern Michigan in 2019 is among the elite for defensive linemen: he\u2019s logged 133 tackles (the most), 164 quarterback hits (fifth-most), 69.5 sacks (sixth-most) and 6,112 snaps (the most) over that span. Breer added that many teams would be interested if Crosby were to become available, though whether the Raiders will trade him remains unresolved.<\/p>\n

    Fan Take: This matters because Crosby is a perennial difference-maker whose relationship with the Raiders affects both their immediate competitiveness and locker-room stability. If the situation leads to a trade or a breakdown in trust, it could reshape pass-rush hierarchies around the league and spotlight how teams handle star players\u2019 health and communication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
