Raiders GM tamps down trade talk around Crosby, says he expects star edge
rusher to stay with team
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) --- The Las Vegas Raiders are planning to keep star edge
rusher Maxx Crosby despite the trade talk around the five-time Pro Bowl pick,
general manager John Spytek said Tuesday.
"Maxx is an elite player. I've been very upfront from the start since I got
here, that we're in the business of having really good players on the team, and
we need a lot more of them," Spytek said at the NFL scouting combine in
Indianapolis.
Crosby has been rehabilitating from left knee surgery he underwent three days
after the regular season ended, as speculation about his status has persisted
following an NFL-worst 3-14 record for the Raiders and the firing of coach Pete
Carroll after just one year on the job.
Crosby said earlier this month he doesn't want out and that the unsubstantiated
reports suggesting he does make him laugh. His future with the club that
drafted him in the fourth round out of Eastern Michigan in 2019 became a
subject when he was placed on injured reserve with two games left against his
wish, preferring to play out the season. Crosby, who has 69 sacks in seven
years, had a career-high 28 tackles for loss in 2025.
