Maxx Crosby has made it abundantly clear that he's committed to the Las Vegas Raiders, despite trade rumors swirling around him. The defensive end, who signed a lucrative three-year contract extension with the team in March, told journalist Jim Gray on his podcast "Let's Go!" that he's focused solely on winning and has no interest in being traded.
Crosby acknowledged that he's aware of the speculation surrounding his future with the Raiders, but maintained that it's "a waste of time and energy" for him. He expressed frustration at seeing his name plastered across team TVs while teammates look at them awkwardly, implying that he'd rather focus on what matters most: winning.
The 28-year-old has been a cornerstone of the Raiders' defense since being drafted in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Crosby's impressive track record includes four consecutive Pro Bowl appearances and three double-digit sack campaigns, cementing his status as one of the league's top pass rushers.
Despite being under contract with the Raiders through 2029, Crosby's future remains uncertain. If a massive trade package were to be offered, it's unclear whether the team would consider parting ways with him. However, given Crosby's clear commitment to winning and his apparent dissatisfaction with the team's current performance, it seems unlikely that he'll be traded anytime soon.
The Raiders' situation serves as a reminder that even the most touted players can become trade fodder if their teams decide to rebuild or go in a different direction. For now, though, Crosby remains focused on helping the Raiders achieve success and get back on track.
