Maxx Crosby’s Trade Rumors Put to Rest by Raiders Owner Mark Davis
Maxx Crosby stands as one of the premier defensive ends in the NFL, a title he has solidified over the years. While Myles Garrett’s recent performances have sparked debates about the league’s best, Crosby’s prowess remains undeniable. Recently nominated for his fifth Pro Bowl, he continues to be a cornerstone of the Las Vegas Raiders’ defense.
Praise from the Top
Raiders Head Coach Pete Carroll recently expressed his admiration for Crosby’s exceptional talent.
“Yeah, Maxx [Crosby] is a phenomenal player. His consistency, the sacks he gets, the tackles for losses—he’s playing as good as anybody can play, and that’s not a surprise,” Carroll remarked. “He continues to play at an extremely high level and produce and lead. He sends the right message and stands for what it takes to play great football. It’s obvious that he is so consistent. He’s just that darn good, so thrilled about that.”
Crosby’s standing in the league is further emphasized by the respect he garners from his peers and coaches alike. Such accolades only bolster his importance to the Raiders as they look to build a formidable defense.
Davis’ Commitment to Crosby
Despite recent speculation about potential trades involving Crosby, owner Mark Davis has been unequivocal in his stance. Following the Fall League Meeting in New York, Davis made it crystal clear that Crosby is not going anywhere.
The defensive end represents more than just talent; he embodies the Raiders’ identity and values. Having received a contract extension, the expectation was that this would quell any rumors surrounding his future. Yet, conversations persist in the media, with some analysts suggesting players who could be on the move.
However, Davis’ commitment to Crosby signals a different narrative. Crosby has become the face of the organization, a player whose leadership and performance epitomize the Raiders’ aspirations.
As the team gears up for the season, Crosby’s presence is crucial. His consistent high-level play is not only pivotal for the defense but also serves as a rallying point for the entire organization. With Davis firmly stating he has no intention of trading Crosby, fans can rest assured that their star defensive end will be donning the silver and black for the foreseeable future.
