Forget the rumors, folks. Maxx Crosby is staying put, and we shouldn’t expect any trade drama involving the star edge rusher anytime soon. FOX Sports NFL insider Jay Glazer dropped the news, reporting that Crosby isn’t out there seeking a trade and the Las Vegas Raiders aren’t looking to move him before the November 10 deadline. Glazer was clear on “FOX NFL Sunday”: “I know he wants to stay with the Raiders, but from every team I talk to, this isn’t so much for just Crosby with everybody out there.” Sounds like Crosby is locked in, despite what some might have been whispering.
Why Crosby Is Sticking Around
This news comes as the Raiders are sitting at a 3-4 record. They kicked off the year hot, racking up three straight wins, but then dropped four in a row leading into their Sunday battle with the New York Jets. It’s not like Crosby hasn’t been in the trade spotlight before, either. Remember the offseason? The Raiders actually had a deal in place to send the five-time Pro Bowler to the Baltimore Ravens for two first-round picks. Crazy, right? But the Ravens pulled out after Crosby failed his physical, sending him right back to Vegas. This guy has put up 18 total tackles, two sacks, one forced fumble, and a fumble recovery so far this season. Even with his name floating around this year’s deadline, Crosby is reportedly firm on staying in Sin City, unlike some other big names.
The Looming Trade Deadline and Who’s on the Move
While Crosby is off the market, the trade deadline is still very much alive for other players. Glazer specifically called out Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor and Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings as potential candidates who could be on the move. And listen, Week 8 is going to be massive for teams trying to figure out who’s buying and who’s selling. Glazer emphasized that today’s games are huge to see who the “sellers” really are. He put it like this: “Someone loses today, then everyone’s going to call those teams trying to get those big-name players. But Crosby wants to stay with the Raiders.” So, eyes will be on those Sunday scores to see which teams decide to throw in the towel and start dealing.
